A grand parade, Trooping of the Color, marked the official birthday of the reigning British monarch.
After celebrating his 93rd birthday on April 21, a multitude of members of British royalty celebrated the official Queen Elizabeth II. birthday in London on Saturday.
Why does Queen Elizabeth celebrate exactly her two birthdays?
Queen Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926. She celebrated her birthday earlier this year privately with members of the Royal Family. According to People magazine, since her birthday also fell on Easter Sunday, she also attended the royal service with her family.
And on Saturday, a grand parade known as the Trooping of the Color marked the official birthday of British monarch rule.
According to royal regulations, it is customary to celebrate the birthday of a ruler publicly on a summer day, preferably in good weather.
It is thought that this tradition began under the reign of King George II in 1748. While the King was born in October, an annual "Trooping of the Color" became a celebration dedicated to the King, as well as to the to the armed forces.
