On June 15, the royal family will gather in London to mark King Charles' official birthday celebration with an epic procession through London. Hundreds of soldiers, horses and musicians will perform a patriotic display of military precision in the King's honor, continuing a tradition linked to the monarch's official birthday since 1748.
The event also marks Kate Middleton's first public appearance in six months since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March.
The pageantry is highlighted by a parade from Buckingham Palace along The Mall to Horse Guards' Parade, where the Irish Guards will "troop their colour," or present their flag. The parade will then head back to Buckingham Palace, where members of the royal family gather on the royal residence's famous balcony to catch the ceremonial flypast by the Royal Air Force.Follow along as the royal family gathers in London for King Charles' public birthday celebration
