A Brief History of the Royal Tournament - Part 4
On 14th September 1998 the Secretary of State for Defence, George Robertson announced that the 1999 Royal Tournament would be the last. Click here to view the full content of the statement.
The Royal Tournament opened on 20th July 1999 and played to full housed at every performance until 2nd August. The video below shows the Opening of the Last Run in the presence of HRH the Princess Royal. Following the 1999 run, the Royal Tournament entered the history books after 120 years.
Interest in the Royal Tournament has recently been revived, following the publishing of the Ministry of Defence Report of Inquiry into: National Recognition of our Armed Forces. To show your support for the Royal Tournament, please join our mailing list
