List of Freedom of the City recipients
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Freedom of the City, in military terms, is an honour conferred by a city council upon a military unit, which grants that unit the privilege of marching into the city "with drums beating, colours flying, and bayonets fixed". The honour is usually bestowed upon local regiments, in recognition of their dedicated service, and it is common for military units to periodically exercise their freedom by arranging a parade through the city.[1]

City of London
Freedom of the City of London is a status into which only persons are admitted. The following units of HM Forces hold City Privileged Regiment status and consequently have the right to march through the City of London with drums beating, bayonets fixed and colours unfurled. Military units honoured in this fashion may only enter the City when the permission of the Lord Mayor of London has been sought and granted. All military units entering the City of London do so by permission of the Lord Mayor, they do not have 'the Freedom' even if they hold City Privileged Regiment status. Her Majesty's forces have no general right of entry to the City unless the Lord Mayor has granted permission[citation needed]. A civic officer going by the title of the City Marshal escorts all military units of HM Forces through the city.
