What is Trooping the Colour? | The King's Birthday Tradition Explained
Every year, on a Saturday in June, the Monarch of the United Kingdom celebrates their official birthday with a big military parade, a 41-gun salute, and an RAF flypast by the Red Arrows over Buckingham Palace.

We take a deep dive into the loudest, most colourful annual tradition in the Royal calendar.
Report by Iain Jones.
