Goodbye Kiss features 22-year-old gelding Thomas, one of the oldest horses in the Household Cavalry, which is known for giving kisses to the men of the Life Guard Squadron, as he kisses troop leader Captain Charlie Fitzroy, 28, prior to the animal’s retirement. The photograph was taken by Sgt Adrian Harlen RLC, runner up in the Pro Portfolio section of the Army Photographic Competition 2013.
