On parade, the Royal Horse Artillery takes precedence over every other regiment and corps in the Regular British Army; placed at the right of the line.
The Royal Artillery has been present at every campaign in which the British Army has fought. They have one battle honour, Ubique ("Everywhere"), granted by William IV in 1833. Its subsidiary motto is Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt ("Where Right and Glory Lead").
Her Majesty the Queen is the Captain General and St Barbara the patron saint of Artillerymen. They celebrate their saint's day on the 4th December. They have their own prayer (The Royal Artillery Collect), musical marches and museum.
