Queen’s Birthday Parade Gibraltar – 9 June 2022

As is traditional a Trooping the Colour parade was held in Casemates Square, Gibraltar to mark the Official Birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The parade was held in her honour even though she was not herself present. The parade formed part of a royal visit to Gibraltar by His Royal Highness Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and Her Royal Highness, the Countess of Wessex, Sophie, to mark the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Prince Edward took the salute at the Queen’s Birthday Parade. He was accompanied by His Excellency the Governor of Gibraltar, Vice Admiral David Steel. The Governor normally takes the salute at the Birthday Parade.

The parade is loosely based on the Trooping the Colour parade in London but it obviously on a much smaller scale.
