THE SOVEREIGN'S PARADE AT SANDHURST - SOUND - COLOUR

(31 Dec 1962) The Sovereign's Parade at the Royal Mililtary Academy Sandhurst takes place twice each year, when Officer Cadets of the Senior Division leave Sandhurst for commissions in the British Army and in many overseas armies. After King George the Sixth had taken the salue at the first Passing-out Parade of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in July 1948, he decreed that in future this Parade would be known as The Sovereign's Parade. This film shows the Sovereign's Parade at Sandhurst in August 1962, when the salute was taken on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen by Field Marshal the Viscount Slim.
