The parade started from Buckingham Palace, with King Charles and Queen Camilla making their way in a carriage along The Mall to Horseguard's Parade.

As royal colonels, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal and the Duke of Edinburgh rode on horseback, while other attendees included the Princess of Wales and her three children while the Duchess of Edinburgh travelled by carriage.

Trooping the Colour is an annual military ceremony to celebrate the official birthday of the monarch.

While his actual birth date November 14, 1948, King Charles like many British monarchs before him, officially celebrates a 'second birthday' in the summer.
