Horse Guards Parade

Horse Guards Parade was formerly the site, where tournaments (including jousting) were held in the time of King Henry V111. It was also the scene of annual celebrations of the birthday of Queen Elizabeth 1.
The area has been used for a variety of reviews, parades and other ceremonies since the 17th century.
It was once the Headquarters of the British Army. The Duke Of Wellington was based in Horse Guards when he was Commander-In-Chief of the British Army. The current General Officer Commanding London District still occupies the same office and uses the same desk. Wellington also had living quarters within the building, which today are used as offices
