For the purposes of parading, the regular army of the British Army is listed according to an order of precedence. This is the order in which the various corps of the army parade, from right to left, with the unit at the extreme right being highest. Under ordinary circumstances, the Household Cavalry parades at the extreme right of the line. However, when on parade with its guns, it is the Royal Horse Artillery (usually in the form of the King's Troop) that goes to the right. If non-regular forces were included, the Honourable Artillery Company and Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers would feature prominently, with the right-of-the-line honour falling to the HAC being senior to the Kings Troop and with guns as colours.

Cavalry and Infantry Orders of Precedence

Cavalry and infantry regiments of the British Army are listed in their own orders of precedence, which dates back to when regiments had numbers rather than names. The order comes from the start of the regiment's service under the Crown, up to 1881 and the Cardwell Reforms, when the use of numbers was abolished in favour of county names. The regiments of the Household Division are always listed first, as they are the most senior, followed by the line regiments. In today's army, which has many regiments formed through amalgamations of other regiments, the rank in the order of precedence is that of the more senior of the amalgamated units. It is for this reason that the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, one of the youngest in the army, is ranked second in the line infantry order - it is the direct descendent of the 2nd Regiment of Foot. Household Division is term used principally in the Commonwealth of Nations to describe a country’s most elite or historically senior military groupings, or those military groupings that provide functions associated directly with the Sovereign. ...

Cavalry - Notes

Note 1: The 1st Life Guards, 2nd Life Guards and the Royal Horse Guards, were originally termed Horse Guards and given precedence over the Cavalry regiments of the Line. The 1st Royal Dragoons was a line regiment.
Note 2: In the sequence of Line Cavalry, Dragoon Guards have always come first in the order of precedence, with their own numbering sequence, with other cavalry in a single sequence; it is therefore possible to have in the order of precendence 1st Hussars, followed by 2nd Lancers, followed by 3rd Dragoons, and so on.
Note 3: Although one of the antecedent regiments of the Queen's Royal Lancers was the 5th Lancers, this regiment was formed in the 1850s, resurrecting the number of an old regiment and thus ranked in precedence after the 17th Lancers.
Note 4: The two individual regiments that make up the Royal Tank Regiment are not included in the order of precedence separately; the RTR (which was formed during the First World War) takes final place in the cavalry/RAC order as a whole. Dragoon guards was, in some armies, particularly the British Army, the designation used to refer to heavy cavalry regiments from the 18th century onwards. ...

• The Royal Dublin Fusiliers (disbanded 1922) - 102nd, 103rd Regts of Foot
  

Note 6: There is currently only a single regiment of line infantry that has never been amalgamated in its entire history: In the British Army, there have been two regiments titled the Royal Irish Regiment // Royal Irish Regiment The Royal Irish Regiment was formed in 1684 by the Earl of Granard from independent companies in Ireland. ...

• The 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment - 22nd Regt of Foot
  

Until 2006, there were four other regiments that had also never been amalgamated: The 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment is an infantry regiment of the British Army, part of the Prince of Wales Division. ...

• The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment) - 1st Regt of Foot
• The Green Howards (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own Yorkshire Regiment) - 19th Regt of Foot
• The Royal Welch Fusiliers - 23rd Regt of Foot
• The King's Own Scottish Borderers - 25th Regt of Foot

In 2006, these were amalgamated into large regiments under the planned reorganisation of the infantry. The 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment will be the last to amalgamate in 2007.
Note 7: The Royal Marines, as the descendent of the old Army marine regiments of the 17th and 18th centuries, is included in the Order of Precedence after the descendent of the 49th Foot (the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Light Infantry), which was the last regiment formed prior to the formation of the Royal Marines, when not on parade with the Royal Navy. On the completion of the infantry reorganisation in 2007, the RGBWLI will become part of The Rifles, and move last in the Order of Precedence. The Royal Marines will thus move behind the descendent of the 48th Foot (the Royal Anglian Regiment). When naval contingents are present, Royal Marine units parade as part of the Naval Service, to the right of all regiments of the Army.
Note 8: Although the Royal Green Jackets is descended from three numbered regiments, it is last in the order of precedence because the unnumbered regiment The Rifle Brigade has served longest as a rifle regiment. The Royal Gurkha Rifles comes before the Royal Green Jackets because one of its predecessors (the 2nd Gurkhas) entered service before the Rifle Brigade ceased using its old number (95th). As both the Royal Gurkha Rifles and the Royal Green Jackets are rifle regiments they come last in the order of precedence, with only the SAS after them (the SAS does not fall into any of the other categories). This is why the Parachute Regiment, which is classed as a line infantry regiment, comes above both.
