TROOPS DEPLOYED: HUNDREDS OF SOLDIERS PREPARE FOR KING'S BIRTHDAY

[@elizabethhannah4704]

No-one does Ceremony, Tradition etc like the British. It's these Traditions that are the backbone of everything that makes Britain Great. Pride and Ceremony are truly marvellous. Thank You very much.

China now does it far better, as a veteran of 34 years watching those lardy guts waddling along I'm embarrassed as to what we've become. Look at the drill of the ladies militia of the Beijing Institute of Fashion... Reserves, Territorials, student seamstresses! If you want to see drill.

I'm delighted that beards are now permitted in the British Army. When I left the Army I grew a beard and still wear it. If I'd been allowed one during my service career maybe I'd now be shaving each day! Trust it will be a brilliant King's Birthday Parade.

Oh my goodness, those beards look utterly ridiculous . Such woke nonsense it was to allow them.

[@tonisuesmith6125]

Here in the US our soldiers according to height and weight per individual are given a target weight that they're encouraged to maintain. They can't be overweight and be on active fury the exception are the officers. I know this because my close cousin had to be put on a diet and exercise routine for 6months until he was back under his weight target. He ended up packing on muscle instead. During that time he was removed from active duty and was returned to it wasn't he lost the weight . he was Navy though .

[@karleenjohnson2174]

Every branch has weight requirements. They need to be fit for their duty

[@peskycitizen7582]

The annual official ceremony is always celebrated in June. For obvious reasons, the weather is nicer.

[@sarumano884]

All Kings and Queens have had an Official Birthday in June, since ?Victoria. No matter what their actual birthday. A bit like Guy Fawkes' Day. The country gets a known annual celebration, and the King still gets the chance for a private family event on his real birthday.

[@andrewabel3927]

At 14.37 One of the officers seem to be marching any a different pace. Some of the dressing needs improvement. It seems that the current generation lack discipline and dedication on the parade ground.

[@peskycitizen7582]

It’s a practice! I’m sure they will work on all that in subsequent practices so it will be perfect for Trooping the Colour.
