This weekend, Queen Elizabeth II will celebrate her official birthday (although her actual date of birth is April 21st). The day is marked with the Trooping the Colour – also known as the Sovereign’s Birthday Parade. This tradition began in 1748, and has occurred nearly every year since 1820. The Queen herself will take the salute, continuing the tradition begun by her great-grandfather, King Edward VII. It was also Edward VII who moved his official birthday from November to June, to capitalize on the better weather. Since 1959, Her Majesty’s official birthday has been held on the second Saturday in June. Read more about Trooping the Colour here!
