The Royal Gibraltar Regiment march from Wellington Barracks over to Buckingham Palace ready for their Chnaging of the Guard.
Soldiers from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment are constantly on operations within Gibraltar.
The Regiment has responsibilities to support the Royal Navy and its assets, it trains for all possible scenarios, including enhanced security postures during increases in alert states.
A proud moment for the Royal Gibraltar Regiment as it conducts Ceremonial Public Duties in London, almost ten years after their second commitment, with their first being in 2002.
After a rigorous inspection of ceremonial uniform and drill sequences which was carried out at Wellington Barracks on Friday, the Royal Gibraltar Regiment proceeded with their First Queen’s Guard which took place at Buckingham Palace on Monday 21 March.
Over the next few weeks, the Royal Gibraltar Regiment soldiers will be guarding the Tower of London, St James Palace, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.
Speaking about the honour of the task, Commanding Officer of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Simon Dyson, said: “As Commanding Officer of the Royal
Gibraltar Regiment, it is a huge honour for the Regiment to be asked to perform the Public
Duties in London, to guard our Sovereign at Buckingham Palace, Tower of London and
Windsor Castle.
“It’s going to be a truly memorable experience for all the soldiers involved. We have some
very junior soldiers taking part and it will be their first experience conducting duties away
from Gibraltar so it is a fantastic opportunity for them and one they will treasure for the rest
of their career.
“Being Commanding Officer, to be able to lead the Regiment, and uniquely receive New
Colours whilst we are conducting Public Duties is fantastic. We are truly honoured and
humbled with this opportunity.”

El Regimiento Real de Gibraltar, en Londres
Gibraltar, 21 de marzo de 2022
Es un momento de orgullo para el Real Regimiento de Gibraltar, que está desarrollando funciones públicas ceremoniales en Londres, casi diez años después de su segundo compromiso, tras el primero en 2002.
Después de la rigurosa inspección del uniforme de gala y las secuencias de instrucción que se llevaron a cabo en el acuartelamiento de Wellington el viernes, el Real Regimiento de Gibraltar procedió hoy a realizar su primera Guardia de la Reina (Queen’s Guard), en el Palacio de Buckingham.
Durante las próximas semanas, los soldados del Real Regimiento custodiarán la Torre de Londres, el Palacio de St. James, el Castillo de Windsor y el Palacio de Buckingham.
Sobre el honor que supone desempeñar estas tareas, el oficial al mando del Regimiento, el Teniente Coronel Simon Dyson dijo:
“Como oficial al mando del Real Regimiento de Gibraltar, quiero constatar el inmenso honor que representa para el Regimiento que se le pida que desempeñe funciones públicas en Londres, como es la protección de nuestra Soberana en el Palacio de Buckingham, la Torre de Londres y el Castillo de Windsor.
Va a ser una experiencia verdaderamente memorable para todos los soldados que participan. Tenemos aquí a algunos soldados muy jóvenes y está será su primera experiencia fuera de Gibraltar, lo cual es una oportunidad fantástica para ellos, que atesorarán durante el resto de su carrera.
Es fantástico poder dirigir el Regimiento como oficial al mando [en estos momentos] que llevamos a cabo nuestras funciones públicas [en Londres] y cuando, como hito extraordinario, [durante nuestra estancia] recibiremos la nueva bandera (Colours) del Regimiento. Nos sentimos realmente honrados y abrumados por esta oportunidad”.
Los soldados del Real Regimiento de Gibraltar normalmente realizan operaciones en Gibraltar. El Regimiento tiene la responsabilidad de apoyar a la Royal Navy y sus activos, y se entrena para todos los posibles escenarios, incluyendo posiciones de seguridad reforzadas asociadas a aumentos de los estados de alerta.
