Lord High Admiral’s Divisions is an annual parade held to mark graduation of junior officers at Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth. The Parade is attended by the Lord High Admiral (of the British Navy), or their representative. The parade has been held in December in recent years. 

This is the naval equivalent of the Sovereign's Parade at Sandhurst Royal Military Academy. But unlike the parade at Sandhurst, this is not attended annually (or almost annually) by a member of the Royal Family.
