King Charles's first birthday parade will take place on Saturday 17 June
: "Our focus this year is on it being the first King's birthday parade and I think that's what makes it so exciting for us, being part of an event that is a first. The first King's birthday parade since 1951, our first one in 72 years, and the first time the King has taken the salute since 1950. So all these things together make it such a special moment for us all.
"This year we also have all five Foot Guard regiments. So we've got Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards - and we’ve not had that since 1989. "We're going to see our new Royal Colonel [The Princess Royal] so it's a first there - as well as seeing Her Majesty the Queen and HRH The Princess of Wales all directly on the parade this year. The Duke of Edinburgh will also be riding on the parade for the first time. These firsts make it such an exciting and special event for us all.
