Trooping the Colour, honours the sovereign's official
birthday ( born 21 April) - Horse Guards Parade. Each year, the Queen and other
members of the Royal Family attend the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
The Queen attends the ceremony to take the salute from thousands of
guardsmen who parade the Queen's colour (or flag). This
dates back to the earliest times of armed conflict, when each leader
needed his own colours to stand out in the smoke and
dust of battle. The flag was trooped in front of the soldiers every day to
make sure that every man could recognise those of his own regiment.
