The tradition, which dates back to the 17th century, involves 1,400 soldiers, 400 musicians and 200 horses.
The king will inspect the soldiers from a carriage with Queen Camilla at Horse Guards Parade before returning to Buckingham Palace to lead the Royal Family onto the Buckingham Palace balcony for a flypast. Those close to Charles have said he is “very much looking forward” to his official birthday parade. Usually the monarch rides down from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade via The Mall to inspect the troops.
That was enough for him, it was tiring and it’s a case of being safer than sorry. Riding a horse during the parade using only one hand can be dangerous, those horses can be frisky.” Arbiter adds that even a spot of rain, predicted for Saturday, will not detract from what promises to be a special day although if there is low cloud cover the flypast could be scaled back.
