The King's responsibilities for this year will have a few adjustments as he prepares for the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony. This longstanding royal tradition, which has been around for centuries, is scheduled to take place this coming weekend. It is a significant event that celebrates the monarch's official birthday in June, even though King Charles' actual birthday isn't until November. This will be the second time the parade has been held in King Charles III's honor, but it will have some changes due to his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
Instead of riding on horseback, which is the usual method, the king will be traveling in a carriage with his wife, Camilla. The parade will commence at 10am on Saturday, starting at Buckingham Palace and heading towards the Horse Guards Parade before returning to the palace. For those looking forward to watching the royal event, the BBC will be providing live coverage. All the important details can be found below.
If you're wondering about the exact timing of the parade, it is set to begin at 10am when the Royal Family departs from Buckingham Palace and makes their way to Horse Guards. The Horse Guards Parade itself will begin at 10:30am, with the royals returning to the Palace at approximately 12:25pm. During the event, the famous Red Arrows will make a flyover. At around 12:55pm, the Royal Family will make an appearance on the balcony, followed by a flypast at 1pm.
For those interested in seeing the Red Arrows in action, they will be doing flyovers from 12:28pm until 1:27pm, after which they will return to RAF Waddington. The jets will be visible in areas such as Colchester, Windsor, and East Haddon. If you prefer to watch the event from the comfort of your own home, the BBC will be providing live coverage starting at 10:30am until 1:10pm, although it may go on for longer. But don't worry if you're unable to catch it live, as it will be available on BBC iPlayer for later viewing.
In addition, The Agency will be running a live blog throughout the parade, ensuring that you don't miss a single moment of this special event. So whether you're attending the parade in person or watching from home, there are plenty of ways to be a part of the Trooping the Colour ceremony and celebrate King Charles III's official birthday.
