It was Edward VII who moved Trooping the Colour to its June date, because of the vagaries of British weather (his actual birthday being in November).[3] It is held annually on the second Saturday in June, coinciding with publication of the Birthday Honours List, and usually takes place at Horse Guards Parade by St James's Park, London.[4] It is followed by a 41-gun salute at noon in Green Park,[5][6] and a flypast over Buckingham Palace, watched by the Royal Family from the Palace balcony.[3]
