What is Trooping the Colour?
‘Trooping the Colour is a ceremony performed by regiments of the British and Commonwealth armies. It has been a tradition of British infantry regiments since the 17th century, although the roots go back much earlier. On battlefields, a regiment’s colours, or flags, were used as rallying points.’ – Official definition. Trooping the Colour began many years ago, the 17th century to be precise, under the reign of Charles II. This event is now held to celebrate The Queen’s birthday every year in June, and is performed by her personal guards. The queen, since 1987, arrives in a horse & carriage, but for the 36 years before that, she would horse ride graciously in the colour that was being trooped.
