Trooping the Colour

[andrew]

One of The Actual Queen's main bit of theatre for year is next Saturday. I've never been around for it, has anyone lined up near the palace or the mall for this in years gone by? I understand the actual event is ticketed but wondered if there were any tips for good positions by the processions to see a bit of royalty up close, that isn't Helen Mirren for once.

There's an official website (Google Trooping the Colour) and they tell you the best places to stand for free. Was intending to go up and combine with our theatre visit in the evening but the actual procession is quite early, so there would be a quite a lot if the day to kill for us...
