Come and join in the Queen's birthday celebrations at Trooping the Colour in June.

Happy Birthday, Your Majesty!
The Queen's birthday is officially celebrated with the Trooping the Colour. The Queen's actual birthday is on 21 April, but it's traditional to celebrate the Sovereign's birthday in the summer, when the weather's better.

Trooping the Colour involves more than 1400 officers and soldiers on parade, together with 200 horses, 400 musicians from 10 bands and the corps of drums.
