Trooping the Colour 2011 - Queen's Birthday 11th June

Prince William Sporting a traditional bearskin hat, he rode the Household Division charger Wellesley in the ceremony dating back to 1748.

Alongside him, also on horseback, were the Prince of Wales - Colonel of the Welsh Guards, the Princess Royal - Colonel of the Household Cavalry's Blues and Royals and Colonel of the Scots Guards, the Duke of Kent.

The Queen, who actually turned 85 on 21 April, arrived in a carriage with the Duke of Edinburgh, who was dressed as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards.

Prince William, dressed in the red uniform of the Irish Guards he wore on his wedding day six weeks ago, took part in the parade as the regiment's honorary colonel.

Prince William's wife, Catherine, was dressed in an ivory jacket and black hat, and had a tartan quilt over her knees, as did Camilla.

I gave up using a video camera at events such as these because of the incesant noise in the background. Why is it that the public can't keep their mouths closed and just watch the event. No wonder they are known as the "chattering class" by their betters.

@jafajack It was seriously hard to catch a video when you're behind all these people much taller than you and when you can't see a thing you're filming. I was there. Most people just lifted their cameras in the air, hoping to film whatever possible. It's a way better video than what I have, at least.
