King Charles III has praised the “determination and commitment” of the newly formed King’s Gurkha Artillery unit.
The monarch watched as the troops took part in a formation parade at Larkhill Barracks in Wiltshire.
The King was greeted with a 21-gun salute and presented with a large traditional mala flower garland, which was placed around his neck.
The parade celebrated the creation of the Army’s first dedicated Gurkha Artillery Unit. King Charles said it showed the “enduring and deeply valued relationship between the United Kingdom and Nepal”.
