Trooping the Colour

Saturday was the Queen's official birthday- her actual birthday is in April, but they celebrate it with the Trooping of the Colour parade and review in June. I went to see the procession down the Mall- saw all the main Royals-the Queen, Philip, William, Camilla, Charles (though no picture of him, he was on horseback so didn't catch him on film!), Andrew, etc. The pictures are took of them all are slighty blurry as they were all in carriages.
