George's First Trooping The Colour

Sunday 14th June, 2015

Prince George made his first appearance at the Trooping The Colour on Saturday, only the third time he has made an official appearance in the U.K.

The little prince who is 22 months old, was first spotted at a Buckingham Palace window as the Royal Family left for Horse Guards Parade. George was cheekily poking out his tongue and seemed quite excited at the crowds and pageantry below. 

Trooping The Colour is the official celebration for The Queen's birthday. Athough the parade is held in June each year, Her Majesty's birthday is in fact on April 21.

And then, after the parade, the Royal Family made an appearance on the Palace balcony to watch the Red Arrows flypast. For the first time, George joined them, wearing the same powder blue outfit his father Prince William wore at his debut in 1984.
