A Right Royal BIRTHDAY: King Charles III’s Trooping the Colour Parade Set for June 14, 2025

The official historic birthday of King Charles III will be celebrated on Saturday, June 14, 2025, when the iconic Trooping the Colour parade returns to Horse Guards Parade, London. This centuries-old military spectacle is made up of over 1,350 Household Division troops, 200 horses, and 400 musicians from the Massed Bands in a dazzling celebration of Britain's finest armed forces in a display of tradition and pageantry. The procession begins at 10:30 AM and concludes in style with a thunderous Royal Air Force fly-past at 1 PM, witnessed along The Mall.

 

Royal Family members will view the troops and then stand on the Buckingham Palace balcony, waving to thousands of spectators. Seated tickets are available through an online ballot (closed March 24), while standing room along The Mall is free and open to all. The ceremony will be broadcast live on the BBC, inviting viewers everywhere to take part in this royal event.
