TROOPING THE COLOUR - COLOUR

(20 Jun 1976) The old custom of trooping a regimental flag or colour, was in order that the troops might recognise it on the field of battle. Today it is purely a ceremonial act to mark the official birthday of the Sovereign. ® ® HM Queen Elizabeth II takes the salute as the Regimental Colour of the 2nd Battalion of the Coldstream Guards is trooped. ® ® After the ceremony members of the Royal Family watch from the balcony of Buckingham Palace the Fly Past by the Royal Air Force.

This really explains what’s going on. Some others don’t do it so well. I loved seeing the Queen, riding sidesaddle on her horse Burmese. She always looked wonderful

In this Trooping the Colour, Her Majesty the Queen is riding side saddle on Burmese (1962-1990), a black RCMP Police Service Horse (PSH) mare, was given to Queen Elizabeth II by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and ridden by the Queen for Trooping the Colour for eighteen consecutive years from 1969 to 1986..

I used to love it when the Queen rode to Trooping the Colour- she's a pleasure to watch, and there was something oddly touching about the sight of this tiny woman riding side saddle ahead of her guards. Also (and I realise this probably has something to do with my age) the men look smarter and more purposeful somehow.

[@wills2408]

Agree. She's a pleasure to watch. I searched for this video when i read that the Queen last Trooped the Colour on horseback in 1986.

[@jamesthompson3674]

Oh back in the days when we had eight guards parading during Trooping the Colour, now we only have numbers 1 to 6. Then look at the spacing's between the guards lining either side of the mall. Happy days when each guards regiment had two battalions.

I make this prediction within 25 years we will only have one Guards Battalion and each Coy will bear the cap badge of the old Regiments we cant afford a large army and NHS Welfare Pensions will take priority The old age pension will be 75

You could be very frank with him over work related issues at the parties, the badge was off as far as he was concerned but we all kept it respectful. Plus his office door was always open if you had any issues or problems.

Stephen Hulme and what I salute u guys during those times is that u performed very well disciplined in the way u marched and the uniformity was also a thing to point out those time.
