Britain's royal family rounded off King Charles III's inaugural birthday parade Saturday with a balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace to watch a spectacular fly-past. | ManilaBulletin

Three of the king's young grandchildren -- future king Prince George, nine, Prince Louis, five, and Princess Charlotte, eight -- joined the rest of the family on the balcony with the princes sporting red ties and blue blazers and Charlotte in a sailor suit with red trim.

It ended with the Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force's aerobatic display team, trailing red, white and blue vapours. Charles, who also took the royal salute, was followed on horseback as he inspected the troops by his eldest son and heir, Prince William, Charles' brother Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, and sister Anne, the Princess Royal.

Charles's actual birthday is on November 14 but British sovereigns celebrate twice -- once in private and again in public.The June parade tradition began in 1748 under King George II, who wanted a celebration in better summer weather, as his own birthday was on October 30.Some 1,400 soldiers, 400 musicians and 200 horses took part, led in the parade by Juno, a 10-year-old shire mare, alongside three other Drum Horses -- Perseus, Atlas and Apollo.

Unlike last weekend, however, when William inspected troops from the Household Division group of senior regiments, none of the soldiers appeared to faint.Charles -- who as head of state is commander-in-chief of the armed forces -- later led the soldiers back to the palace.
