Trooping the Colour is a ceremony that has marked the official birthday of the British sovereign for the last 260 years.

Here, The Telegraph outlines everything you need to know ahead of the ceremony later this month. The impressive display of pomp and pagentry will feature hundreds of soldiers, horses and musicians, as they file down The Mall to Horse Guards Parade in a ceremony dating back over 200 years. The annual event to mark the monarch’s official birthday will feature every regiment of the Household Division for the first time in more than 30 years. Trooping the Colour in June will be the King’s first as sovereign and will be especially large this year.
