POMP and circumstance came to Winchester yesterday (Wednesday), when HRH The Princess Royal accepted the Freedom of the City on behalf of the King's Royal Hussars, for which she is Colonel-in-Chief.
Hundreds of people gathered for the colourful spectacle, and to get a glimpse of Princess Anne, as she inspected troops from the steps of the city's Guildhall.
The regiment, which was formed in 1992 following an amalgamation of the Royal Hussars and King's Hussars, are based at Tidworth, but have a home headquarters at Peninsula Barracks. Recruits receive their initial training at the nearby Sir John Moore Barracks.
