The official birthday of King Charles is on November 14. However, according to the BBC, the Sovereign's birthday is celebrated on some other day, mainly during summer.

What happens during Trooping the Colour?

Each June, over “1400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians” gather to showcase a “great display of military precision, horsemanship and fanfare to mark”, states the royal family's official website.

Where and when is Trooping the Colour taking place?

Tickets were sold prior to the event for those who would attend in person. The entire event will be broadcast live on the BBC.

Earlier this year, King Charles was diagnosed with cancer. He will not be on horseback during the procession and inspection of the troops on the Horse Guards Parade and will instead be in a carriage.
