Trooping the Colour practice

A question for you Londoners, please. Does anyone know when they might be doing the practice runs? Will be in town all that week and might stop by if I know when it's happening. Thanks!

Thanks, Nigel. I've been to Beating Retreat and have tickets again this year for Wednesday night. Is that basically a practice run for the Saturday event? I thought Saturday might be even more elaborate. I actually like the BR because it was shorter, cooler, and less formal, but thought I might pass by the parade grounds if I knew they were practicing for the big event and I were in the area.

Nigel, I think I just figured out that the Colonel's Review on Saturday, June 1, IS the practice run. Right??

We were there the day of a practice. The stands were closed and the area was roped off. All we could see was the rear end of the horses.

Bob, LOL. Won’t go out of my way for that. Thanks!
