Trooping the Colour 2024: A Royal Celebration
A majestic display of tradition and pageantry
The annual Trooping the Colour parade will take place on Saturday, June 15, 2024, to mark the official birthday of His Majesty King Charles III.
This year's ceremony will be particularly significant as it will be the first time that King Charles III will attend the parade as the reigning monarch. The parade will feature over 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians from the Household Division. The highlight of the ceremony will be the trooping of the colour by the 1st Battalion Irish Guards.
The parade will begin at Buckingham Palace, where the King will inspect the troops. The procession will then move down The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, where the trooping of the colour will take place. The parade will conclude with a flypast by the Royal Air Force.
Trooping the Colour is a centuries-old tradition that dates back to the 17th century. It is one of the most popular events in the British royal calendar and attracts thousands of spectators each year.
This year's parade promises to be a spectacular display of tradition, pageantry, and military precision. It is an event that will not be forgotten by those who attend.
