Trooping the Colour and Honours Revealed

About this episode

The episode covers the Trooping the Colour parade and the associated Birthday Honours.

The King’s official birthday parade, Trooping the Colour, dazzled London with over 1,400 troops, a 41-gun salute, and a Red Arrows flypast — a global spectacle drawing fans from Mississippi to Seattle. Behind the pomp, the Birthday Honours celebrated legends like rugby star Kevin Sinfield, authors Malorie Blackman and Julia Donaldson, and even Wallace & Gromit’s creators. Soldiers, seasoned in muddy ditches and brutal rehearsals, delivered flawless precision under perfect skies, honoring a centuries-old tradition where regimental colours once saved lives in battle — now a dazzling royal ritual with no other major events on the horizon.
