The colour paraded on Horse Guards this year was the flag of Nijmegen Company, Grenadier Guards.
It is the first time since 2005 that the Grenadiers have not been on operations in Afghanistan, about to deploy to the country or recently returned from Helmand Province.
After the parade, the King s Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired a 41-gun salute in Green Park to mark the Queen s official birthday.
The Queen wore a powder blue dress designed by Angela Kelly. Her actual birthday was on 21 April, when she turned 88.
