Rare honour for ``President's Bodyguard''

New Delhi July 6. `President's Bodyguard', one of the most celebrated cavalry regiments of the Army, has bagged the rare honour to perform at the world-renowned annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

The `Bodyguard', which is theoldest serving unit in the Army, will perform against the backdrop of the Edinburgh Castle for three weeks from August 2, at the Tattoo which is a chief attraction at the international festival. ``Performance of India's grand old cavalry is one among the firsts this year at the festival. The horse and camel-borne soldiers will present a unique spectacle among the dancers, steel bands, flag-wavers, drill teams,'' Morna Nance, Director of the British Council, which is closely associated with the event told the press on Friday.
