context_page_description: The Household Cavalry is made up of the two most senior regiments of the British Army, the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals. These regiments are divided between the Armoured Regiment stationed at Kiwi Barracks in Wiltshire and the ceremonial mounted unit, the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, garrisoned at Hyde Park Barracks in London. The Household Cavalry is part of the Household Division and is the Queen's official bodyguard.
context_section_description: The Household Cavalry has two museums. The Household Cavalry Museum is located at Horse Guards Parade in central London, where the HCMR mounts the Queen's Life Guard.  The museum is a very popular tourist attraction with digital audio guides in several languages. The museum includes a window into the working stables of the Queen's Life Guard, allowing visitors to watch ongoing care of the horses throughout the day.  Separately, the Household Cavalry Regiment has its own museum at Combermere Barracks in Windsor.  A volunteer team organise tours and events and, in particular, administer the regiment's extensive material, documentary and photographic archives.  The museum is open to public groups, by appointment.
