TL;DR Summary

Britain's King Charles celebrated his first official birthday parade as sovereign on Saturday, riding on horseback to inspect soldiers in a ceremony that has been an annual event since 1760. The parade, known as "Trooping the Colour", comes just weeks after Charles's coronation on May 6. By appearing on horseback, Charles revives a tradition which his mother, Queen Elizabeth, gave up in 1986 when she was 60. The parade is the British military's annual tribute to the monarch and is usually held in June.
