The Guard rehearses
The Guard rehearses in London. Next Saturday, Queen Elizabeth celebrates her 84th birthday with a grand parade. The Queen will participate in the procession in a coach. In the case of Queen Elizabeth, if his health permits, her husband Prince Philip . He'll be 89 years old tomorrow, so that both could toast a double birthday, if, yes, if Britain's monarch did not cheat on her cradle.
Queen Elizabeth was born on April 21st. But since the weather conditions in England are usually not very promising on this date, it was decided officially to postpone the festive troop parade to June so that as many Londoners as possible can cheer for their majesty.
New is the custom in England not to combine the Monarchsgeburtstag with good weather. Even the eldest son of the legendary Queen Victoria (1819-1901), King Edward VII (1841-1910), was celebrated in early summer, although he was born in November.
