Celebrate The Queen's official birthday in June by joining in and admiring the horse and military parade - Trooping the Colour.
The parade takes place every year in London’s St James’s Park since 1820. The ceremony of Trooping the Colour is full of military pomp and pageantry as The Queen carries out an inspection of the troops from the Household Division. The Queen then leads the troops down the Mall to Buckingham Palace, the Royal Residence. The Queen salutes and guns are fired in Green Park and at the Tower of London. Finally, she joins other members of the Royal Family on the balcony to watch the Royal Air Force fly past.Although the Majesty’s official birthday is celebrated in June, Queen Elizabeth II's actual birthday is in April.
