Join us in celebrating the official birthday of the British Sovereign for over 260 years as we go BuckingHAM on the palace with the Trooping the Colour ceremony, taking place on June 14 this year. This two-century-old impressive display of pageantry is a grandiose parade with the King’s troops, The Household Division, on Horse Guards and King Charles III himself attending and taking the salute. Over 1400 officers and men are on parade, together with 200 horses, and over 400 musicians playing as one. The King will travel down The Mall from Buckingham Palace in a royal procession with a sovereign’s escort of the Household Cavalry.
Seated tickets are purchased by ballot only and are closed months before the event. - This would need to be done by yourselves online. Those without tickets to the seated stands can choose a spot on The Mall or the edge of St. James’s Park overlooking the Horse Guards
