Making music: Corps of Drums 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards
The celebratory event, held on Wednesday night, included a Beating Retreat ceremony, during which the King's Division Band, with the Drums of the 1st Battalion of the British Army's Coldstream Guards, performed a marching musical program at Imjin Barracks.
The historic military showpiece has its origins in the early years of organised warfare, when the beating of drums and the parading of Post Guards heralded the closing of camp gates and the lowering of flags at the end of the day.
