The Major General's Review of the Queen's Birthday Parade

On June 13 – the Queen's official birthday bash– a military parade will be Trooping the Colour (carrying a military flag) down Horse Guards Parade. This rehearsal for the event is free to attend and can be viewed from The Mall or Horse Guards Parade. The ceremonies tend to be a less crowd-heavy way to get a look at the pomp and pageantry of the main event.
