Joined by other members of the Royal family, the Queen inspected 1,100 soldiers of the Household Division during the ceremony. | |
Crowds amassed in central London to catch a glimpse of the Queen, the Duchess of Cambridge, any many other members of the Royal family, as they rode in horse-drawn carriages to the parade ground. | |
The Mall was flooded with red-jacketed soldiers, as they marched down towards horse guards parade - where they impressed onlookers with a display of precision marching and music. | |
After the ceremony, the Royals returned to Buckingham Palace, where they watched an RAF flypast. | |
Unfortunately, most of the flypast had to be cancelled due to bad weather in London, but a flyover from the Red Arrows went ahead, to the delight of Prince George. | |
The appearance of the Royal family on the balcony was also the first public appearance of the Duchess of Cambridge since she gave birth to Princess Charlotte in May. |
