The timeless tradition is back for Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday!
Trooping the Colour brings out all our favourite royals.
As the pageantry and spectacle plays out, which includes more than 1600 soldiers marching, fans will see the Royal Family gathering on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch an RAF flypast.
Making this year’s event even more special is the fact that Queen Elizabeth is celebrating her milestone 90th birthday.
The longest-reigning Monarch was also joined by her youngest great-grandchild, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge, who made her first official public appearance since her birth last May.
And right by the 13-month-old’s side was big brother Prince George, who once again charmed the crowds with his royal wave and cheeky antics.
But despite the cuteness overload, all eyes were be on the honouree of the day, The Queen. Looking elegant in a lime-green ensemble, Her Majesty couldn’t hide her utter joy as she made her way onto the balcony as thousands of adoring fans cheered on.
It’s been a jam-packed weekend of celebrations for the beloved leader. Yesterday, she was joined by all her loved ones for a Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
She and her husband then hosted lunch at Buckingham Palace, while her grandkids William, his wife Duchess Catherine and Prince Harry hosted another lunch celebration in their granny’s honour at The Guildhall.

Mum and dad couldn’t be more excited for Princess Charlotte’s big balcony debut.
At times George, however, was less than impressed…
Much to Uncle Harry’s amusement.
Even Kate and Wills had trouble not laughing at their cheeky monkey.
The colourful flypast was truly magnificent.
The Queen can’t hide that grin!
She stole the show as the sweet flower girl back in 2011 at Wills and Kate’s wedding and today Lady Louise looks beautiful. Can you believe how graceful the 12-year-old is?
