The King, who is being treated for cancer, will inspect the soldiers from a carriage rather than on horseback this year. Last year, the King became the first reigning monarch to ride on horseback at Trooping the Colour since Queen Elizabeth's horse Burmese carried her during the 1986 ceremony.
Trooping the Colour tends to fall on the third Saturday of June and marks the monarch's official birthday – the King's actual birthday on 14 November.
Historically, official celebrations to mark a sovereign's birthday have often been held in the summer months due to the weather, allowing royal watchers to properly celebrate the occasion.
Over 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians take part in the display of military precision, horsemanship and fanfare.
