The annual Trooping the Colour ceremony took place on Saturday, marking the King's official birthday. The event is one of the largest military and royal spectacles of the year, featuring over 1,400 members of the armed forces, 200 horses, and 400 musicians. The ceremony began with the King and Queen travelling in an open-top carriage, passing through the crowds lining the route from Buckingham Palace down the Mall to Horse Guards Parade.
The parade featured a number of notable attendees, including the Prince and Princess of Wales with their children, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. The King wore the uniform of the Grenadier Guards, featuring the cypher of Queen Elizabeth II, while Queen Camilla wore a red uniform dress designed by Fiona Clarke.
The ceremony culminated in a Red Arrows flypast, watched by the Royal Family from the Buckingham Palace balcony. This year's event was particularly poignant, given that Lance Bombardier Ciara Sullivan, a soldier who was set to ride in the ceremony, tragically passed away after falling from her horse during the Royal Windsor Horse Show in May.
