Trooping The Colour 1981 LP 1st Battalion Welsh Guards Gatefold Cover QBP5 Limited Edition Rehearsal Recording of the Trooping The Colour Ceremony in 1981
This was the infamous Trooping The Colour Ceremony where there was an 'assassination attempt' on Queen Elizabeth II during the ceremony. The Queen was riding on horseback down the Mall, when 17-year-old Marcus Sarjeant fired six blank cartridges at the Queen as she rode past, turning into Horseguards.

Sarjeant ordered two imitation Colt Python revolvers for £66.90 through mail order, both of which were only capable of firing blanks, after failing to acquire ammunition for his father's handgun.

He then sent photos and a note to two magazines, including one image of him posing with his father's firearm.

He also sent a letter to Buckingham Palace, with the sinister message: "Your Majesty. Don't go to the Trooping the Colour ceremony because there is an assassin set up to kill you, waiting just outside the palace."

Ironically, the letter arrived three days after the incident took place, only making it to the royal residence on June 16.

The shots resulted in Burmese – the Queen’s horse – starting in distress. Elizabeth was, however, able to bring her 19-year-old mare back under her control within a few seconds. Marcus was found guilty of an offence under Section Two of the Treason Act in that he ‘wilfully discharged at or near the Queen a gun with the intent to alarm or distress Her Majesty’. He later appealed against the length of the sentence, which was refused. Sarjeant spent three years at HMP Grendon Underwood in Buckinghamshire, and was released in 1984, aged 20. He changed his name and began a new life. He also wrote to the Queen to apologise, but received no reply.
