Reviewing Officers at Sovereign's Parade Sandhurst (2000-Present)

Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is one of several military academies in the UK. This academy is used as initial training for officers in the British Army. 

There are 3 Sovereign's Parades each year to mark the graduation of the Commissioning Course for Regular Army officers, which is 44 weeks long. There are 3 of these courses a year: (January-December, May-March, and September-August). There is a separate graduation for the Commissioning Course Short.

When possible, the Monarch's representative is someone already scheduled to attend the event. (I.e. Foreign Monarchs are the representative when their children are graduating.)
