Cenotaph Ceremony
The Belgian Cenotaph Parade is an annual event which takes place in London in July. Elements of the Belgian Armed Forces participate in an armed parade from the Cenotaph, through Whitehall and Horse Guards Parade, to the Guards Memorial.
Belgium is the only country outside the Commonwealth of Nations which is able to parade its soldiers, armed and in uniform, through London. The event takes place on the Saturday preceding Belgian National Day on 21 July.
