the world's largest military tattoo and pageant, held by the
British Armed Forces annually between 1880 and 1999. To
please audiences were added, including music from military
bands, re-enactments, Musical Rides by the Cavalry and
Musical Drives by the Artillery. Crowds began to flock to
performances at the Agricultural hall; during the early
1900s the show outgrew its home and moved to the west London
venue of Olympia. The Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force
also participated. The show was renamed a number of times
until it finally became the Royal Tournament. Measures
