Trooping the Color, the birthday parade in honor of the Queen, will not take place as usual in 2021 either.
Royal fans will have to accept the next low blow. Due to the increasing number of cases in Great Britain, the annual birthday parade in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, also known as Trooping the Color, has now been officially canceled. That comes from a tweet on the official Twitter account of the British Army.
It says: "After consulting the government and other relevant parties, it was decided that the Queen's official birthday parade, also known as Trooping the Color, cannot take place in its traditional form in central London this year." One is now checking whether an alternative event can be held on the "Quadrangle", the rectangular courtyard of Windsor Castle. Anyone who has already purchased tickets will receive a refund.
