Soldat från The King’s Troop har avlidit vid Royal Windsor Horse Show

En medlem av The King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, omkom efter en olycka under Royal Windsor Horse Show den 15 maj. Händelsen inträffade omkring klockan 19.00 efter att truppen avslutat sin uppvisning och lämnat arenan. Räddningstjänsten påbörjade omedelbart livsuppehållande åtgärder men soldatens liv gick inte att rädda.

Showens arrangörer bekräftade att en häst som var inblandad i ett fall strax före olyckan fick skyndsam veterinärvård och klarade sig oskadd. Den brittiska armén har underrättat soldatens familj om dödsfallet och uttryckt sitt deltagande till de anhöriga och till hela den militära gemenskapen.
