— Royal Central (@RoyalCentral) June 13, 2020The Queen presided over a smaller scaled-back version of the Trooping of the Colour Ceremony at Windsor Castle on June 13th, watching the parade of a small group of Welsh Guards march and troop their colour, accompanied by a diminished group of the massed Bands of the Household Division. The Trooping of the Colour has marked the official birthday of the British Sovereign for over 250 years, but unlike previous years, this year’s grand ceremony in London was cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic.
This ceremony was smashing! I watched the whole thing and I think it was wonderful. I really love the fact that they modified the ceremony and carried on, so very much like Queen Elizabeth II herself. It is an inspiration to continue and do the best we can with what we have. Well done!
