The royal family were out in full force as they celebrated the King's birthday parade on Saturday.
Known as Trooping the Colour, the annual military parade was a spectacular affair, brimming with all the usual pomp and pageantry you'd expect.

She was joined by her husband Prince William and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Following the ceremony, the royals gathered on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the spectacular flypast from the Royal Air Force. In honour of Kate's majestic return to public duties, it seems the monarch, 75, made a key adjustment to the royal balcony.

The royal duo, who are both currently receiving treatment for cancer, appeared more united than ever as they marvelled at the huge crowds trickling down the Mall.
For the special occasion, Kate, 42, looked regal in a structured white dress crafted by Jenny Packham. Her frock featured black piping around the neckline, long sleeves and a whimsical statement beck bow.

Joining them on the royal balcony were Queen Camilla, George, Charlotte and Louis, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and Lady Louise.
Princess Kate only confirmed she would be attending King Charles' official birthday parade on the eve of the event, via a personal message sent out by Kensington Palace. This was also accompanied by a beautiful image of the mother-of-three posing under a tree in the grounds of the Windsor estate.

"On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.

"I'm looking forward to attending The King's Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet."
