This is an digitalisation of an old '88 VHS tape. Back then there was no HD! But the sound and the music is very good. Enjoy this nice part of history

I’m so proud of Trooping of the Colour. Tradition at its best. In this year of 2022 watching this one in 1988 is still a wonderful spectacular. Perfect on every way. I love it and I’m so proud to be British. I didn’t realise that the Queen started rising in a carriage in 1988. I thought it was later because I know that Burmese died in 2001. A wonder sight to see. Magnificent. Everything times to the exact minute. At least that can’t be taken away from the British. Amen.
