Editing Trooping the Colour (section)

===Sovereign's birthday parade===
In the United Kingdom, Trooping the Colour is also known as the "King's Birthday Parade" ("Queen's Birthday Parade" when the monarch is female). First performed during the reign of [[Charles II of England|Charles II]] (1660–1685), in 1748 it was decided that the parade of Trooping the Colour should mark the official birthday of the Sovereign. In 1760, after the accession of [[George III]], it became an annual event.<ref name="hd origins">[https://www.householddivision.org.uk/trooping-the-colour-origins#:~:text=The%20ceremony%20of%20Trooping%20the,III%20became%20King%20in%201760 "Origins of Trooping the Colour", Household Division Trooping the Colour website] Accessed 31 May 2022</ref>

In 1892, the only member of the royal family to attend was [[Prince George, Duke of Cambridge]], due to court mourning for the death of [[Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence]]. [[Queen Victoria]] herself only attended Trooping the Colour once, in 1895, when it was held at [[Windsor Castle]]. Although some elements of the parade have remained fairly constant, the ceremonial seen today was not fixed until 1889.<ref>{{cite book |editor-last=McKenzie |editor-first=John M |date=1992 |title=Popular imperialism and the military |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HXACEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA32 |publisher=Manchester University Press |page=32 |isbn=0-7190-3358-6}}</ref>
