From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from 2001 Trooping the Colour)

This is a list of Trooping the Colour ceremonies, usually held in London, from 1890 to the present. The first Trooping the Colour on Horse Guards Parade took place on 4 June 1805.[1] In 1895 two Troopings were performed, on consecutive days, by different battalions of the Scots Guards at Windsor Castle and Horse Guards Parade.[2] In the twentieth century, it has generally been held in late May or early June, regardless of the actual date of the monarch's birthday, and since 1959 has been held on a Saturday. There have been some cancellations for various causes including bad weather, national strikes and during both World Wars. The monarch has not always attended the ceremony in person due to illness or state duties, and may be represented by the Prince of Wales or one of the royal dukes.
