The first official Trooping the Color birthday parade for Britain's new King Charles III.

will be held on June 17, 2023.

This was announced by London's Buckingham Palace on Thursday night.

The colorful spectacle, which last took place for Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September, as the highlight of the celebrations for her 70th jubilee, is considered one of the most important dates in the royal calendar.

For more than 260 years, the parade has not been held on the monarch's actual birthday, but in June because of the weather.

Charles will celebrate his 75th birthday on November 14th next year.

More than 1,400 guards from various regiments of the so-called Household Division, 200 horses and 400 members of military bands are involved.

The procession leads from Buckingham Palace via The Mall to the central parade ground, Horse Guards Parade.

Then it's back to the castle.

Charles and other royals also participate in uniform and on horseback.

The tour concludes with a flyover in Royal Air Force planes and helicopters, while the Royal Family appear from the balcony of the Residenzschloss.
