Queen to celebrate birthday today with mini Trooping the Colour
THE Queen celebrated her official birthday with a mini Trooping the Colour at Windsor Castle today.
The Colour - or ceremonial flag - being trooped past the soldiers was the Colour of the 2nd Battalion Scots Guards with the regiment's F Company given the task of performing the honour. And the Queen, who wore a lavender coat and matching hat, appeared delighted as Red Arrow planes painted the sky red, white and blue to mark the occasion.The celebrations took place in a scaled-down format this morning for the second year in a row - although their scope increased from last year.
"We've had to tackle Covid like everybody else, with some people needing to isolate and therefore not being able to be on parade."
