Budapest - "Army Day"
Our Friendship Force group came on a small event when we arrived on Castle Hill. There were mounted soldiers (probably retired) in old uniforms. We were told this was the annual celebration of "Army Day." It was the anniversary of retaking Budapest (Buda, back then) from the Ottoman Turks on May 19, 1686, There were a number of men in modern uniforms among the spectators. I presume that they were military attaches from the various embassies.
