As a reminder, the tradition of Trooping the Color requires the monarch to ride down the Mall from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade before being saluted by the military. The latter then returns to the palace to appear on the balcony surrounded by members of the royal family. They all end up watching the Royal Air Force fly hole.
