The Aldershot Command Searchlight Tattooedit
The Tattoo originated from a special display for Queen Victoria in 1894[4] and soon became an event in itself. Its growing popularity required the building of a venue to cater for the large numbers of people attending. Rushmoor Arena was built in 1923 and the Tattoo became a national spectacle with over 5,000 soldiers taking part. The Tattoo had annual crowds of up to 500,000 people, and over 58,000 cars.[4]
