A military parade was held in London to mark the official birthday of King Charles III of Great Britain.
Oxu.Az reports this citing Sky News.
The monarch watched the ceremony from the grandstand with members of the royal family.
More than 1,400 soldiers took part in the parade. King Charles III and other members of the royal family accepted the artillery salute of 41 gun salutes from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
It is worth noting that the tradition of celebrating the monarch's two birthdays was started in 1748 by King George II, who was born in November. He decided to celebrate the official birthday in summer due to more favorable weather. The tradition has been preserved.
Queen Elizabeth II, born on April 21, 1926, chose to celebrate her official birthday in June after her coronation on June 2, 1953. King Charles III, who ascended the throne after his mother's death and was born on November 14, 1948, also decided to celebrate his birthday in summer, choosing June.
