Trouping the Colour
The annual celebration of the Queen's Birthday, called Trouping the Colour,
took place on a Saturday, June 9. The pageantry involves the Queen's
personal troops, the Household Division, on Horse Guards Parade,
with Her Majesty the Queen herself attending and taking the salute. Over
1400 officers and men are on parade, together with two hundred horses;
over four hundred musicians from ten bands and corps of drums march and
play as one. The parade route extends from Buckingham Palace
along The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, Whitehall and back again. A few
of the EIL students joined Profs. Berry and Parsons for this event to see the Queen and especially the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Harry and Meghan) riding in their carriages down the Mall.
