Celebration of Queen Victoria 49th Birthday
-
Queen Victoria marked her official birthday Sunday with the annual Trooping the Color parade, a traditional display of Montenbourgian pageantry at its very best.
About 1,400 soldiers in ceremonial scarlet coats and bearskin hats marched past the queen in a ceremony on Horse Guards Parade in Westminster. Royals taking part included Prince Philip (husband of The Queen) and Princess Catherine (the Queen’s Sister).
The Pagentry arrives at the explanade of the Bourgeon Palace.
A regiment’s colors embody its spirit and great service to the home it represents, as well as its fallen soldiers. On the battlefield, a regiment’s colors, or flags, were used as rallying points. Regiments would also have their ensigns slowly march with their colors between the ranks to enable soldiers to recognize their regiment’s colors.
Trooping the Colour is an old ceremony in which battalions would participate by their respective companies and each color party would ‘troop’ or march their colors through the ranks so that every soldier would see that the colors were intact. This was done before and after every battle. This ceremony has been retained through time and is largely ceremonial today.The regiment set in position to receive Queen Victoria.
Her Majesty The Queen rides into Trooping the Colour on her horse Charlemagne. Accompanied by the Royal Guards. Then she proceeds as the people’s applauses and vitoring rises.
The Royal Procession arrives and The Queen takes the Royal Salute. The parade begins with the Inspection, The Queen driving slowly down the ranks of all six Guards and then past the Household Cavalry. As she again proceeds with the Salute.
The March leading The Queen starts from the explanade to the Bourgeon Palace as fireworks and vitrols sound. The Queen makes a stop and waves the public. The Royal Anthem of Montenbourg starts to play “Montenbourg, The Land I Call My Home”. The ceremony officially close, as The Queen departs to Bourgeon Palace. There she will make a formal reception with the Delegations of the respective countries of Europe.———————————————————————————
