The New Waterloo Dispatch

Waterloo200 is the charity behind Britain's commemorations of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. The centrepiece of the celebrations is a parade that will include a re-enactment of the historical moment that news of the British and Allied Forces victory over Napoleon reached London; a horse-drawn post chaise will travel from Greenwich to a royal ceremony where Princess Anne will be waiting to welcome it. More than 1,500 people will take part in the parade including mounted soldiers, marching bands and 500 children from the cadets and schools. Turn up at The Mall for 4.30pm to catch the festival atmosphere then head up to Horseguards Parade for 6.15pm, where the main parade will start.
