Every June, one of the most powerful nations on earth rejoices what
seem to be the most prestigious and exclusively defined birthday
celebrations. With military flags and countless London flags raised
proudly on a typical sunny Saturday, the British celebrate the
Trooping the Color Parade. This event is held to commemorate the
birthday of the Queen Elizabeth, which was originally April 21, but
because weather conditions were more favorable during the summer, the
celebration of said event was moved to June, usually during the second
Saturday.
This ceremony is military in nature. Back in the 18th century where
the British was already a superpower, the birthday of the Queen was
marked with the presentation of the military strength of the nation by
be inspected and seen by the spectators and other dignitaries.
The event is marked by the pass in review of troops after the Queen is
greeted with a royal salute, followed by a band performing military
revelries, then by the passing of the colors and passing of the Foot
Guards, Household Cavalry, King’s Troop, and Artillery. This is
immediately followed by the return of the Queen escorted by the Duke
of Edinburgh and other royalties back to Buckingham Palace before
finally taking a salute.
A tradition started with the time of King Edward VII to the present
time, this powerful military nation has shown the might and pride of a
sovereign that has stood by time as it unfolded in history.
