Read our privacy policy The senior military officer in charge of planning this year’s Trooping the Colour said he aimed to create a “memorable and uplifting day” for the Queen. On Saturday 12 June, a military parade in celebration of the Queen’s “official” birthday will take place at Windsor Castle. “So from a skillset perspective it’s been very difficult to achieve what I hope will be a good standard because we’re not doing the Changing of the Guard ceremony every day due to the pandemic – that applies to horses, the musicians and the Guardsmen with their foot drill and rifle drill,” he said. “Last year we had 85 on parade, this year we’ve got 274, plus 70 horses, so we’re really excited about the event having grown and getting us back to normal for next year we hope,” Lt. Col. Stone said.
