With the countdown to Trooping the Colour entering its final days, excited royal fans will be delighted to learn that they can get an early glimpse of the breathtaking military spectacle in London today (Saturday, June 7). The Colonel's Review is the final rehearsal ahead of the King's annual Birthday Parade, however, there will be one twist this year.
This year's Trooping the Colour will see the Coldstream Guards troop their regiment's flag - otherwise known as the Colour - in front of King Charles at Horse Guards Parade on June 14. The Coldstream Guards are part of the Household Division, which is made up of two regiments of the Household Cavalry (the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals) and five regiments of Foot Guards (the Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scots Guards, Irish Guards and Welsh Guards).
And, as the Colonel's Review takes place near Buckingham Palace today, there is one reason why it'll be different from before.
