Who is participating?



1400 soldiers, 200 horses, 400 musicians come together each June in a display of
military precision. All to mark the Queen's official B-Day. 


What will happen? 


It closes with an RAF fly-past, watched by Members of the Royal Family from the
Balcony of Buckingham Palace.

Once The Queen has arrived at the Horse Guard's Parade at Whitehall, she's greeted
by a Royal Salute and carries out an inspection of the troops. 

The Queen used to attend the Trooping of the Colour on horseback herself, but in
recent years she travelled by carriage.

Of course, this event is broadcasted by BBC.  Due to Covid-19, the edition of 2021
takes place at Windsor Castle.
