GARTER DAY AT WINDSOR CASTLE
Monday 16th June 2025
A service for the Most Noble Order of the Garter will be held in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, on Monday 16th June 2025.
The King and Queen and members of the Royal Family will walk in procession to St George’s Chapel and after the service will depart in carriages.
The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most senior order of chivalry in Britain, established by King Edward III nearly 700 years ago. The order includes the King, who is Sovereign of the Garter, the Queen, several members of the Royal Family, and up to 24 companions.
Companions of the Garter are chosen personally by the Sovereign to honour those who have held public office, who have contributed in a particular way to national life or who have served the Sovereign personally.
Last year the Duchess of Gloucester was installed as a new Companion of the Order. Air Chief Marshal the Lord Peach, the Right Honourable the Lord Kakkar and the Lord Lloyd-Webber were also invested as Companions of the Order in 2024.
