Cavalry Sunday is the annual parade of the Combined Cavalry Old Comrades Association which takes place in Hyde Park, London, England, on the second Sunday of May each year.[1] Serving and retired officers and soldiers of the Cavalry and Yeomanry regiments of the British Army march to a service and commemoration around the band stand in the southeast corner of Hyde Park and the nearby memorial to the bombing which took place there. The officers typically wear suits with bowler hats, and march with furled umbrellas.[2][3]
