Saturday (8 June) was a very special day. The royal family celebrated the Queen's official birthday with Trooping the Colour, a military parade followed by RAF flyover in central London.
For Princess Eugenie, it was a particularly special Trooping the Colour this year. Having married Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle in October 2018, it was the first time Jack was allowed to be involved in the high profile royal ceremony.
The newlyweds sat in a carriage together during the procession, along with Eugenie's sister Princess Beatrice, with Jack looking super smart for the royal occasion in his top hat.
And in a nod to the significance of this year's Trooping the Colour for Princess Eugenie, Queen Elizabeth chose to make a subtle tribute to her granddaughter. The Queen rode alone in her 67th birthday parade, and opted to travel in the very same carriage that Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank used for their wedding procession around Windsor.
The horse-drawn Scottish State Coach is a closed carriage - suitable for the temperamental weather (and also ideal for an October wedding). The sovereign wore an Angela Kelly tweed dress in pastel pink, yellow and gold, which matched the carriage's luxe cream interior perfectly.
Over 1400 parading soldiers, almost 300 horses and 400 musicians took part in this year's Trooping the Colour event.
