To celebrate this there is always a special ceremony at Horse Guards Parade near Buckingham Palace. A regiment of 2,000 soldiers and 200 horses take part in the two-hour ceremony. They all march or “ troop” past the Queen ( and also past their regimental flag or “ colour”) In the past, “ trooping the colour” happened before battles to show soldiers which flag to follow.
The Queen sends a telegram to anyone in Britain or the Commonwealth on their 100 th birthday. How does she know when it is someone ‘s 100 th birthday?
