Trooping The Colour

All Screen Caps taken by me.

The three Children are now to big to sit beside each other. Prince Louis had the honour of sitting beside Mum. Most likely so she could keep a tight leash on him.

It must be so frustrating for King Charles to have to ride in a carriage. His first Trooping the Colour as King was the only time he was able to ride a horse.

I love the colour of Catherine's outfit.

Milford Haven and Knightsbridge are on Carriage duty today.

Inspecting the Troops.

Parade back to Buckingham Palace and the march past outside the Palace Gates.

Duchess of Edinburgh and Sir Timothy Laurence

Three Royal Colonels (William, Edward and Anne) and their escort following the King and Queen.

Arrival at the Palace with the huge Royal Standard Flying.

This was a lovely moment when the carriage with Cathering and the Children rode past the King. Both George and Louis bowed their heads.

On the Balcony watching the march past, Sir Timothy Laurence, Duchess of Edinburgh, Duke of Kent and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

The Princess of Wales does look stunning and I love the hat. The Duchess of Edinburgh and the Queen are both very classy.
Louis never fails to entertain. I still can't quite get over the "slimmed down" Balcony, I get the reason, but it was always fun to see the family get together on this day.

HM loved having her whole family with her on the balcony. I loved seeing how much the children grew from year to year. All the adult cousins could socialize and all the children could run around and play together. I think it made the extended family stronger, too. Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg didn't go on the balcony, but he would have luncheon with the family before going to a gathering of the Irish Guard.

I hope William will resume having extended family on the balcony. It would be lovely to see the Tindall crew there, and maybe Peter and his wife and children too.

I missed one
