More than a thousand soldiers from the Household Division on parade in full ceremonial splendour to celebrate The Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen on 14th June 2014 on Horse Guards Parade, at the ceremony known as Trooping the Colour. The Royal Colonels (The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and The Princess Royal) also rode on the parade. This year was the turn of Nijmegen Company Grenadier Guards to troop the Colour presented to them by Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace last June. The Colour is of crimson silk and carries 45 of the Regiment’s 77 Battle Honours. The earliest dates back to 1680, the most recent is for the Gulf War in 1991, but the Battle Honour of greatest importance to the Grenadiers on parade is that of Waterloo 1815. The Field Officer in Brigade Waiting, Lieutenant Colonel Chips Broughton, Grenadier Guards, commanded the Parade. There were more than 200 horses on parade, and more than 400 musicians from all the Household Division Bands & Corps of Drums marched and played as one. The Guards are amongst the oldest regiments in the British Army and have served as the personal bodyguard of The Sovereign since the monarchy was restored in 1660. The ceremony of Trooping the Colour is believed to have been performed first during the reign of Charles II and in 1748 it was decided that the parade would be used to mark the official birthday of the Sovereign. An annual event since 1760, it has been the practise for the Regiments of the Sovereign’s own Household Troops to troop their Colours in turn and Her Majesty The Queen has taken the salute at every parade since Her accession to the throne 62 years ago, except in 1955 when there was a national rail strike.
