The British Army is home to regiments of Horse Guards and Foot Guards that have a long history dating back before the English Restoration in 1660. These elite soldiers have been responsible for guarding the official royal residences throughout the United Kingdom since the reign of King Charles II. Often misunderstood, they are not just ceremonial figures but fully trained and operational troops with a vital role to play in protecting the Sovereign's palaces.
