Decided to watch a bit of this to see what I had been missing all these years. Children must have been bored out of their skulls but suppose they'll have to get used to it as the rest of their lives are already mapped out. Won't bother watching in the future although the horses were magnificent.

The royal kids enjoyed it. What a way to bring up children. They are becoming the rulers of the future because of their luck in being born to rulers. Unlike other kids who have to make their way in life without appearing on the telly and being cheered whenever they appear.

Little Louis enjoyed it. He was dancing to the music! Lovely little family.

My friends' son used to be the official regimental photographer for the guards. Sadly, he died in a road accident on the M1. My friend, also a professional photographer and family member, was invited to the customary garden party afterwards at Windsor Castle, in those days, hosted by HM The Queen. I don't know if The King also hosts a garden party afterwards, but my guess is that he does.

I think it was the youngest wee one who had a long yawn followed by a shorter one.

I'm slightly ashamed to say I didn't know what this was all about. Having googled it, I still can't see the point of it.

The Royal Family wave at the plebs, and the horses and men are polished. Sorry, I'd rather watch the football, and I hate football.

I love watching it. Good old bit of British tradition.

Sorry to be pedantic, but it's Trooping the Colour, not Trooping of the Colour. I had a good friend who was a WOII in the Royal Marines and he used to go ballistic at a few things. The Union Flag being flown upside down, the Royal Marines being referred to a the marines and the one I just mentioned.

It makes me tearful and proud, probably the same feelings as most of the people who take part but then I'm not a republican and I don't hate the English nor the Royal Family. God forbid those soldiers ever have to go to war to defend this country but if they did I wish there was a way they could leave some people to fend for themselves....

@19:19 Sorry but that is one of the most ignorant posts I have ever seen on here and that's saying something.

One wonders at the screening of service personnel before issuing weaponry if the addition or subtraction of a word can bring on a right tizzy.

if you work around ex army you get an idea of their devotion. Ex army also know how to follow an order, jesus.

The Irish Guards were allowed in for the first time. and so it was important for them to make a good show. Northern Irish join up of course, but also men come from the South to fight for King Charles - shhh that is a secret! ( 186 000 WW2)
