Royal Marines on Parade in the City of London

Royal Marines, Royal Marine Veterans and Royal Marine Cadets stood to attention during the Royal Marines 350 Anniversary parade at the Guildhall in the City of London.
The Royal Marines 1664 Challenge comes to and end as they pass the baton on during a parade at the Guildhall of the City of London.
The 1664 challenge, which started at the beginning of February 2014, has seen six Royal Marines ski 1664 km from North to South Norway, sail 1664 km from Norway to Cadiz, cycle 1664 km from Cadiz to Calais, canoe across the English Channel and run 1664 km through England, Wales and Scotland, a total of 4136 miles. Over 4200 other Royal Marines and Army Commandos have accompanied the six on various legs of the challenge.The end of the 30 miler will link in with a separate contingent of over 700 Royal Marines who are exercising their privilege to march through the City of London, with Colours flying, drums beating and bayonets fixed, for only the fourth time in their 350 year history, between the Honourable Artillery Company (the birthplace of the Royal Marines) and the Guildhall.
Once at the Guildhall, the baton that has accompanied the 1664 challenge throughout will be handed to the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman Fiona Wolfe CBE, for safekeeping, before being handed to His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh at a commemorative dinner later in the year.Corporal Tom Rounding, one of the six Royal Marines who completed every leg of the challenge said:The whole challenge has been pretty amazing and Im so glad that I was given the opportunity to have taken part in an event that marks the illustrious anniversary of the Royal Marines.
When we started the challenge back in February the end seemed a long, long way away, I cant quite believe that weve done it!Lieutenant Colonel Gary Green Royal Marines, 1664 Challenge Organiser said:?

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a momentous occasion as Royal Marines, Royal Marine Veterans, and Royal Marine Cadets stand to attention during the Royal Marines 350 Anniversary parade at the Guildhall in the City of London. The event marks the end of the grueling 1664 Challenge, where six brave Royal Marines embarked on an extraordinary journey spanning over 4136 miles. Starting in February 2014, these courageous individuals skied through Norway, sailed from Norway to Cadiz, cycled from Cadiz to Calais, canoed across the English Channel, and ran through England, Wales, and Scotland. Accompanied by over 4200 other Royal Marines and Army Commandos on different legs of their challenge. The parade not only celebrates their incredible achievement but also pays homage to the rich history of the Royal Marines. As they march through London with Colours flying high and drums beating rhythmically, it is a sight that has been witnessed only four times in their illustrious 350-year history. At its conclusion at Guildhall Square, a baton that has accompanied them throughout will be handed over for safekeeping first to Alderman Fiona Wolfe CBE - Lord Mayor of City of London - before ultimately reaching His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh at a commemorative dinner later this year. Corporal Tom Rounding expressed his gratitude for being part of such an amazing event that commemorates the legacy of the Royal Marines. Lieutenant Colonel Gary Green commended all participants for their remarkable dedication and resilience throughout this challenging endeavor.
