The Queen was joined on the dais by HRH The Duke of Kent, who is Royal Colonel Scots Guards, when F Company Scots Guards Trooped the Colour of 2nd Battalion Scots Guards in the Quadrangle at Windsor Castle, in a socially distanced Queen’s Birthday Parade.
Although smaller than a traditional Trooping the Colour, due to rules over social distancing, the parade had been carefully designed to incorporate many of the traditional elements with the Foot Guards, in their distinctive red tunics and bearskin caps, joined on parade by the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment and The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
The Massed Bands of the Household Division and the 1st Battalion Scots Guards Pipes and Drums provided musical support and the parade culminated in a fly past by the Red Arrows and at 12 noon The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired a 41 Gun Royal Salute from East Lawn to mark Her Majesty’s official birthday
