Corrected Textmore↓Trooping the colour of the Queen's Birthday parade.
It is the Queen's official birthday, celebrated on the second Saturday of June. The ceremony takes place on Horse Guards Parade, near St James's Park, which isn't very far from Buckingham Palace.
The Queen's birthday parade is the biggest royal event of the year.
It's a spectacular and colourful military parade on Horse Guards Parade with about 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians.
The British sovereign crown receives the salute of the troops and then inspects them. The Queen did all this on horseback when she was younger; now she is in a carriage.
Why the name "Trooping the colour" ?
In the parade, the regiments show the Queen their flags: they "troop the colour". Trooping the colour was important on the battlefield in the past; it stimulated the troops.
After the ceremony, the royal family appears on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Members of the Royal family, guests and the public watch a flyby by the Royal Air Force.
