The Royal Marines 1664 Challenge came to an end as the Corps Six passed the baton on during a parade at the Guildhall of the City of London. The end of the 30 miler linked up with a separate contingent of over 700 Royal Marines who are exercising their privilege to march through the City of London - with Colours flying, drums beating and bayonets fixed - for only the fourth time in their 350 year history, from the Honourable Artillery Company (the birthplace of the Royal Marines) to the Guildhall. Once at the Guildhall, the baton that has accompanied the 1664 challenge throughout was handed to the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman Fiona Wolfe CBE, for safekeeping, before being handed to His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh at a commemorative dinner later in the year.
