Queen's Trooping of Colour birthday celebration scrapped for second year

The Queen's official birthday celebration - Trooping the Colour - will not happen this year.

The annual event will not go ahead in its traditional form in central London this year, Buckingham Palace announced today.

Officials are considering an alternative parade at Windsor Castle as happened last year.

The annual national celebration of the Queen’s official birthday usually takes place in June.

Last year, because of the pandemic, the Queen viewed a military ceremony in the castle’s quadrangle.

The annual Garter service, also usually held in June, will not take place this year, the palace added.
