  • From a high viewpoint on Snow Hill, we see the green  'Long Walk' in the Royal Estate's Windsor Great Park. We look down the 3-mile straight road into the distance towards Windsor Castle in the summer shinshine during the equestrian 3-Day Event held annually on Her Majesty the Queens's property. Half-way down the lush avenue of Elm trees there are some horses and their riders either warming up before competition, or galloping across the landscape on a round against the clock. A few spectators have stopped to watch this part of the course but others are elsewhere at the dramatic water jumps. The Long Walk was commenced by Charles II from 1680-1685 by planting a double avenue of elm trees. The central carriage road was added by Queen Anne in 1710. Windsor Castle was begun in the 11th century by William the Conqueror as it afforded a good defensive point over the River Thames. A vast area of Windsor Forest to the south of the castle became reserved by the King for personal hunting and also to supply the castle with wood, deer, boar and fish. Windsor Great Park (locally referred to simply as the Great Park) is a large deer park and Crown Estate of 5,000 acres, to the south of the town of Windsor on the border of Berkshire and Surrey in England. The park was, for many centuries, the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and dates primarily from the mid-13th century. Now largely open to the public, the parkland is a popular recreation area for residents of the western London suburbs.

  • Four ladies are seen from behind wearing Union Jack hats and waving Britain's national flag flags. It is the Queens' Golden Jubilee celebrations in London's Hyde Park and this scene of patriotic fun is common when crowds gather to acknowledge their monarch's long reign over her people. The women's faces are obscured but there is a blurred face of an unknown singer leading a concert of rousing songs - perhaps Rule Britannia - that excites the crowd still in the semi-darkness. It is the end of a long day of marches and appearances of Her Majesty on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, marking her 50th year on the throne.

Some may be from the armed services and others , merely known for their charitable work or individual merit.

  • Queen Elizabeth's Royal Yacht Britannia is moored at the quayside at Portsmouth, England. With pendants blowing in the breeze, its pristine paintwork shining in sunlight, the boat awaits its royal passengers for another official tour or voyage abroad. In the background is Lord Nelson's flagship museum, HMS Victory. Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia was the former Royal Yacht of the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. She was the 83rd such vessel since the restoration of King Charles II in 1660. She is the second Royal yacht to bear the name, the first being the famous racing cutter built for The Prince of Wales in 1893. Following Labour's victory on 1 May 1997 it was announced that the vessel would be retired and no replacement would be built. She is now permanently moored as an exhibition ship at Ocean Terminal, Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland.

  • A Beefeater Sergeant Yeoman stands guard outside the Tower of London. The Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. In principle they are responsible for looking after any prisoners in the Tower and safeguarding the British crown jewels, but in practice they act as tour guides and are a tourist attraction in their own right, a point the Yeoman Warders acknowledge. In 2011, there were 37 Yeomen Warders and one Chief Warder.

  • Seventeen officer cadets march in line wearing full dress uniform with their rifles on shoulders past guests and VIPs at their passing out parade in the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. The recently-graduated soldiers march in a near-perfect line looking over their right shoulders towards their commanding officers and VIP guests which sometimes includes Her Majesty the Queen. We see every face clearly and notice their different heights and sizes.  Sharp focus is centred on the smallest man in the parade. The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS), commonly known simply as Sandhurst, is the British Army officer initial training centre. Sandhurst is prestigious and has had many famous alumni including Sir Winston Churchill, King Abdullah II of Jordan, Sultan Qaboos of Oman and, more recently, Prince Harry and Prince William. All British Army officers, and many from elsewhere in the world, are trained at Sandhurst. RMA Sandhurst was formed in 1947, from a merger of the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich (which trained officers for the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers from 1741 to 1939) and the Royal Military College at Sandhurst.

After being recruited into the regiment after a gruelling series of tests to eliminate the weaker and less able candidates, the lucky 160 fly to the UK for basic training. 60,000 boys aged between 17-22 (or 25 for those more educated to become clerks or communications specialists) report to designated recruiting stations in the hills each November, most living from altitudes ranging from 4,000-12,000 feet. After initial selection, 7,000 are accepted for further tests from which 700 are sent down here to Pokhara in the shadow of the Himalayas. Only 160 of the best boys succeed in the journey to the UK. Nepal has been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857

They are all in correct position, practising for an official portrait at Redford Barracks, Edinburgh, which will include Her Majesty the Queen the next day. After hours of rehearsal arriving efficiently into position, warm summer fatigue set in.

  • Royal Marines in a Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RIB), accompanying HMS Ocean (L12) upstream on the River Thames towards Greenwich ahead of a major security exercise in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games. Ocean is an amphibious assault ship (or landing platform helicopter), the sole member of her class and the Royal Navy's largest ship. She then berthed at Greenwich in east London, close to the main Olympic venue where it will act as a launch pad for eight army Lynx helicopters from 661 Squadron and a base for Royal Marine snipers, able to shoot at the engines of fast-moving targets. It is the final phase of the exercise named Olympic Guardian, which began earlier this week in Weymouth, England and in the airspace over the capital. During the actual Olympics in July, Ocean will be moored in Greenwich to provide logistics support, accommodation to 9 Assault Squadron Royal Marines and a helicopter landing site.
