On Thursday morning, starting at 10 a.m. (local time, 11 a.m. CET) the Trooping the Color military parade will take place, marking the ceremonial birthday of the Queen – she was, in fact, born on April 21, 1926. parade more than 1,200 officers and soldiers of the Household Division, from Horse Guard, the building of the mounted guard, near Downing Street, seat of government, to the foot of Buckingam Palace.
If her “mobility problems”, in the words of Buckingham Palace, do not prevent it, the queen should make her traditional appearance on the balcony of the Palace, surrounded by the only “active” members of the royal family: William and his wife Kate, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge; Charles and his wife Camilla, Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall; Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Earl and Countess of Wessex.
