(Subject: Regimental & Unit Histories - General) This is the story of the seven regiments which compose the Household Division, commonly referred to as the Guards. The image of the Guards has been coloured by their ceremonial duties as the regiments dedicated to the protection of the sovereign - whether on duty at Buckingham Palace or at great national occasions such as The Queen's Birthday Parade known as the Trooping of the Colour.
