Cardiff Beating Retreat
Military music and Beating Retreat outside Cardiff City Hall with the Band of the Royal Welsh.Beating Retreat is a military ceremony dating back to 16th century England and was first used in order to recall nearby patrolling units to their castle. Originally it was known as watch setting and was initiated at sunset by the firing of a single round from the evening gun.
These days, most armed forces in the Commonwealth perform some ceremonial form of the retreat and it is often used as a proving test for new band members as well as a practice for difficult drill movements. The ceremonies generally involve the marching of a band and other decorative presentations.
