Army Signallers ensure Queen’s funeral runs precisely to the chimes of Big Ben

On Monday 9 September 2022, the world marvelled at one of the most impressive national parades ever seen in this country. Her Majesty The Queen’s funeral ran with extraordinary precision thanks to the support of a communications network that linked key people throughout the event, kept everyone exactly on time and helped to coordinate responses when the unexpected took place.

Commanding Officer of 10th Signal Regiment, Lt Col Senneck concluded: “We are the only unit in the Royal Signals to undertake ceremonial duties and while much of what we do is behind the scenes, we still have a crucial role to play. I am immensely proud of the professionalism and pride with which my signallers perform their duties, and their role epitomises true teamwork and dedication to duty.”
