THE QUEEN’S ELIZABETH II BIRTHDAY.
1. Something about.
The Queen celebrates two birthdays each year: her actual birthday on 21 April and her
official birthday on a Saturday in June.
Elizabeth II usually spends her actual birthday privately, but the occasion is marked publicly
by gun salutes in central London at midday: a 41 gun salute in Hyde Park, a 21 gun salute in
Windsor Great Park and a 62 gun salute at the Tower of London.
On her official birthday in June , the Queen is joined by other members of the Royal Family
at the spectacular Trooping the Colour parade which moves between Buckingham Palace,
The Mall and Horseguards’ Parade.
2. How does the parade proceed?
Well, during the ceremony, The Queen is greeted by a Royal salute and carries out an
inspection of the troops.
After the massed bands have performed a musical 'troop', the escorted Regimental Colour is
carried down the ranks.
The Foot Guards and the Household Cavalry then march past Her Majesty, and The King's
Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, rank past.
The Queen rides in a carriage back to Buckingham Palace at the head of her Guards, before
taking the salute at the Palace from a dais. The troops then return to barracks.
