The annual celebration returns once more.
Trooping the Colour returns for another year as the public prepares to celebrate the birthday of the sovereign, a celebration that dates back to the 18th century.
This year will mark King Charles III's second Trooping the Colour as monarch, however his taking part was questioned earlier this year following the announcement of his cancer treatment.
However, Buckingham Palace has since confirmed the King will attend and is expected to inspect soldiers from a carriage, rather than on horseback.
Clare Balding will introduce the live coverage from London as the Irish Guards troop their colour on Horse Guards Parade in a spectacle "full of music, majesty and military precision".
Led by Clare Balding, live coverage of Trooping the Colour will begin at 10:30am on Saturday 15th June on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
The parade will last for two hours, with the whole celebration continuing throughout the day.
Highlights from the day's events will air on BBC Two and iPlayer from 5:50pm.
As ever, the Royal Family will kick start the celebrations in a procession from Buckingham Palace to the Horse Guards.
