London Trooping the Colour

Where: London at Horseguards Parade
When: 2nd week in June
Time: 10.30

 

Trooping the Colour takes place in June each year to mark the reigning monarch’s Official Birthday. It’s one of the great spectacles that overseas tourists love to see! His Majesty inspects his troops, who parade in formation, and he takes their salute from horseback. Around 1500 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians are on display, followed by a fly-past by the RAF and a gun salute.

Helpful Hints

Expect big crowds! Tickets must be applied for in advance for entry to Horseguards (see website below)- the processions may also be viewed from The Mall .

In 2024 it should be on Saturday 15th June.
