We've started to put together a picture of how today's events played out. | |
A group of horses and riders from the Household Cavalry were on an extended exercise ahead of a Major General's Inspection - which was due to take place tomorrow in Hyde Park. | |
Every military unit taking part in the King's birthday parade must pass a Major General's Inspection in advance. | |
The group included six soldiers and seven horses. | |
During the exercise, the horses were spooked by nearby building works. Four soldiers were thrown from their saddles, and five horses ran loose through London. | |
Some of the horses collided with traffic and at least two of them appear to have been injured. | |
Paramedics attended incidents in three locations across London, and four people were taken to hospital. | |
All five horses were then recovered and returned to a military base. They're now being assessed by a vet. | |
We'll keep you updated with anything else we learn. | |
