King Philippe and Queen Mathilde at the Belgian Parade in London – The Royal Watcher

Belgium is the only non-Commonwealth country that has been allowed to parade in full armour and on the streets of London since 1934. This privilege was granted by King George V shortly after the death of his cousin, King Albert I, in honour of the heroism and sacrifices of the Belgian army during the First World War. This Belgian parade takes place every year, usually on the weekend before the Belgian national holiday.
