Trooping The Colour Pomp and pageantry of Empire, in a colorful setting. Queen Elizabeth II reviews the guardsmen during the colorful ceremony, centuries old, 'trooping the colour.' It's her first review as Queen, and it's not without its moment of excitement. Guardman calling out orders, guardsmen march past. Cute little boy in crowd atop his fathers soldiers, wears Scots Guard outfit complete with large black fur hat and salutes guardsmen as they pass by. Queen Elizabeth waves from balcony, rest of the royal family behind her.
