Histori
The Guardian of Life grew from the four guards of the Horse Guard (exclusively set up armed forces until the transformation of the last two troops left to the Regiment of the Controller of Life in 1788) raised by Charles II around his recovery time, plus two Grenadier Guards troops (rank and files made up of ordinary people), raised several years later.
- The first troop was initially brought up in Bruges in 1658 as the The Guardian of the Guard of the Horse himself . They form part of the contingent of King Charles II who were exiled as a contribution to the troops of King Philip IV of Spain who fought France and allied their Commonwealth of England under Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell in the French-Spanish War and the Anglo-Spanish War together.
- The second team was founded in 1659 as the Monck's Keeper .
- The third troop, such as the first troop, was formed in 1658 of the exiled Royalis and was originally known as the Duke of York Horse Guard .
- The fourth troop grew up in 1661 in England.
- The first troop of the grenadier horse was formed in 1693 from the merger of three grenadier forces.
- The second team of horse grenade guards was raised in Scotland in 1702.
These units first saw action during the Third Dutch-British War in 1672 and then at the Sedgemoor Battle during the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685.
The 3rd and 4th troops were dissolved in 1746. In 1788, the remaining troops 1 and 2, along with two Guards troops of the Horse Grenadier, were reorganized into two regiments, the Life Guard Regiment 1 and 2 (from 1877, b> 1st Life Guard and Life Guard 2 ). From that time on (1788), the rank and file were mostly made up of ordinary people (nicknames: "cheesemongers"), most of the gentlemen's troops retired.
In 1815 they became part of the Household Brigade at the Battle of Waterloo under Major General Lord Edward Somerset.
In 1821, the Life Guard under the command of Captain Oakes fired on mourners who were trying to direct the funeral procession of Queen Caroline through the city of London. Two civilians were killed. Although murder and murder charges are brought back to them, no guards are prosecuted.

In 1928, it was re-established The Life Guards .
During the Second World War, the Life Guard took part in the Normandy landings and progressed through France to liberate Brussels.
In 1992, as part of the Options for Change defense review, The Life Guards joined together with the Blues and Royals in 'Union' instead of amalgamation, forming Household Cavalry Regiment (Armored Surveillance) and Household Cavalry Regiment Installed (ceremonial duties ).
