The Life Guards is the senior regiment of the British Army. The regiment traces its origins back to 1660 when four troops of horse guards were raised by Charles II around the time of his restoration.

Pickersgill painted this scene in 1851, but the guardsmen are shown with the uniform and equipment of the late 1820s.
