Our wet English summer on a special day

Harry & I watched every minute of the Trooping of the Colour this morning.
The work & practising that went into the fantastic morning of precision marching & fantastic music was amazing.
The horses were a wonderful sight.

Thankfully the rain held off until the proceedings were coming to an end. Such heavy showers too but as quick as the rain came down the blue sky appeared. It was almost like a compleat different day.

How could anyone not feel a sense of pride?
Looks very colourful.. The show must go on.

National pride at its best. How lovely that the rain held off until the end. A really neat photo.

At least the rain held off until towards the end. I have a similar shot to this in my collage. Not sure the king should have been stood in the rain outside Buck House taking salutes, but I think it’s difficult to stop him!

Such a pity the rain came on.....but what a wonderful occasion it is.
I only saw part of it (am) but watched the highlights later. Awesome!

@carole_sandford Yes that was a new bit…..not good for a man not at his fittest though!

I didn't watch it this year, but your picture is lovely. What a day for intermittent hefty rain showers we have had down here! Sorry it did this to such a meaningful parade, but stoic as always they just get on with it. Lovely to hear both Kate and the King were there.

Wonderful photo Pat. How did you manage to get the with the raindrops? I forgot to watch this morning, but watched some of the repeat this evening. It was lovely to see Katherine again, and the children

Wonderful photo… I always loved the glory of the army events,
the smell of wet uniforms is a fond distant memory

I watched it on YouTube this morning because we were in bed by the time it started yesterday.

A super photo Pat! So glad that Kate was in attendance. She looks well, but is very thin. Her waist is about the same size as Charlotte's.

@beverley365 I can imagine!! There must be some drying going on just now!

@jamibann So thin!! Of course her clothes look great on her though!

@busylady It was raining so just took a photo from the TV Judith & quite liked to effect! I should have cropped a bit off the bottom to level it up.

Impressive and nice with the rain’s effects.

I would have liked to see this - I suppose it must have been on somewhere!
