Fainting of the guard | Mail Online

It was the perfect day for basking on the beach or in a park.

But yesterday clearly wasn’t ideal for standing perfectly still while wearing a 2lb bearskin hat – as this unfortunate Scots Guardsman found when he fainted at a final rehearsal for next weekend’s Trooping The Colour.

Even Prince Philip was looking a touch hot and bothered as temperatures in London hit 80F (27C).

The guards who are trooping the colour, were on a tour of duty just 8 weeks ago.
BBC are now broadcasting the ceremony live on BBC1.

First Carraige = Prince William and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. (Harry is on leave)
Second Carriage = Duke of York, Eugenie (Red&White, England Colours) and Beatrice (Blue).
Third Carriage = Queen Elizabeth (in lilac, with a lilac hat with green, pink and red bow) and The Duke of Edinburgh.

I am surprised Charles is riding with a chest infection.

The Duchess of Cornwall looks lovely, IMO. One of my favorite outfits of last years Royal Ascot.

[Lumutqueen]

Oh she does indeed. It is such a beautiful ceremony to watch.
I'm glad that a royal has decided to wear england colours today.

As I said before I am surprised that Charles rode because of his chest infection, the sun is shining and the uniform he is wearing is very heavy, which must make breathing difficult.

They are now on their way back to the palace. I loved the Queen's outfit! Can't believe the BBC are going to stop broadcasting before the balcony appearance and fly past

If you have freeview or sky you can press the red button and watch the balcony appearance and the fly past. That is what I am doing.
They have to stop for the news and then presumably the football.

Not many royals on the balcony, quite a big gap on the left hand side.

I'm watching it on the red button now Lumutqueen! No royals now on the balcony

[Lumutqueen]

Royals are on the balcony now, watching what seems like 20 planes fly past.
Princess Michael is stood behind the Queen again.
Sophie and Edward have made an appearance, as has Princess Alexandra and Prince Michael of Kent. That is all I can see at the moment as they are focusing on the Queens close up.

Princess Beatrice's outfit looks like something an old woman would wear and the colours are so heavy and not summery at all. I also wish she would do something with her hair. Eugenie is wearing the ubiquitous white jacket with IMO a cheap looking red dress, her hair too very unkept looking with a big red plate hat stuck to the front. When will they ever learn how to dress?

Lovely appearances of the royal ladies!

Has anyone seen Louise this time, I can only find the children of
Lady Helen, Lord Linley and Lady Sarah so far. Would be a pity if
she wasn't there this time after her cute appearance last year..

Oh, you're right! How wonderful! I wonder what prompted her to come out of hiding? It's always so lovely to see her.

The DOK has actually attended TTC the last few years but she's normally right at the end and it's not always been easy to see her. I watched the coverage on BBC i-player and from left to right I spotted Lord and Lady Nicholas, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester without any of their children and onwards from there we can see Eugenie and the rest from the balcony pics. Princess Alexandra is standing beside Princess M just behind Prince Philip and she was wearing a green coat and white hat but I don't suppose anyone is going to criticise her for standing in the middle even though she's not a member of the immediate family.

It makes me laugh every year, maybe we are being to harsh and its just a coincedence that every year pretty much Princess Michael happens to be standing as close to the Queen as possible. I mean it can't have anything to do with knowing that she'll make it into the papers that way.
