military precision in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle for the annual Trooping the Colour
She is preparing for the magnificent festivities of her 2022 Platinum Jubilee, but the Queen has rarely experienced such momentous celebrations in her long and illustrious reign as those during her recent whirlwind weekend at Windsor Castle.
No sooner had she returned home overnight on the Royal Train from Cornwall, where she hosted the G7 Summit reception, than she was stepping back into the heart of the action to witness the pomp and pageantry of Trooping the Colour, before welcoming US President Joe Biden and his First Lady.
QUEEN OF VITALITY
Her Majesty has shown that, at 95, she is still bursting with vitality and boasts the energy levels of a woman half her age.
At Trooping, the annual ceremony that marks her official birthday, she was smiling in the summer sunshine as a royal salute and the national anthem heralded her arrival on a sheltered dais overlooking the castle’s quadrangle.
Enjoying every moment, she tapped her feet in rhythm to the rousing sound of the pipes and drums as the spectacle got under way.
