The scheduled date for the King’s Birthday Parade (Trooping the Colour) is Saturday 12 June 2027.

Trooping the Colour is an annual event that has marked the sovereign’s official birthday for two-and-a-half centuries. Upholding the tradition, His Majesty King Charles III, who was born on November 14 1948, will celebrate his birthday twice. Once on his actual birthday and then publicly at Trooping The Colour in June.  Each Regiment has a Colonel who is either a member of the Royal Family or a senior officer.

The British Army has not yet officially announced which Foot Guards regiment will troop the colour at The King’s Birthday Parade in 2027, so there is no confirmed answer as yet.

The parade has historically featured more than 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians. Beginning at Buckingham Palace, the Parade moved down The Mall to Horse Guard’s Parade, where it was joined by Members of the Royal Family on horseback and in carriages. The Parade closed with the traditional RAF fly-past, watched by The Monarch and Members of the Royal Family from the Buckingham Palace balcony.
