Talk:Trooping the Colour

message: I have reverted an edit from someone touting the common belief that a Union Jack must only be called so, when on a RN Jack Staff.
In accordance with current belief from 'experts' as reported at Union Flag I have removed this change to show the interchangeable use of Jack/flag. Philip.t.day (talk) 14:18, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Union Flag/Jack

message: NOTE:  I have copied this over from Giano's talk page to facilitate work on editing.
I have worked on cleaning up the middle of the article. I inserted the bullet points to clarify the article, which, though informed, was muddy.
Regarding the uniforms, these are dealt with on the appropriate regimental pages of the Foot Guards companies, but I could put in a bit more. I have not yet inserted any pix and am something of a technophobe.
In all, thanks, but probably I have not the time to dedicate for all the work required to get it to FA standard. Would you like to shine some of your sunny beams to the article? (I imagine you don't have time either...)   -- FClef 12:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Information re Featured Article status

message: I am in the United States. A friend of mine records the ceremony and sends the DVD to me. Thus, I don't know the dates of the transmissions. For the 2006 ceremony, I suspect it was on BBC 1, since it has fuller detail. The 2005 ceremony DVD was on BBC 2; I saw the "bouncing" logo. I suspect that was 12 June 2005.

replies: text: I will try to find out how to do full refs for these at a later point - the TV commentary is v. useful and it therefore belongs in Refs.  ( If this turns out to be impossible I will work around it somehow and mention the live transmissions, possibly naming the commentators, etc.  - but hopefully it won't come to that. )   Incidentally did you know that the music is recorded every year?  -- FClef (Talk) 22:35, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the play list changes each you to my knowledge. Philip.t.day (talk) 17:16, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Why I haven't put the full references in for the BBC Broadcasts

message: With the addition of a feature about the Trooping the Colour in Malaysia, everyone can now know that even Malaysia has Trooping the Colour, held every 1st Saturday for June, right before the Trooping the Colour in London begins. There are even Youtube videos that are proof that even Malaysia adopts the British military marching traditions and ceremonies, with an Islamic touch. Can anyone link those Youtube Videos about Trooping the Colour in Malaysia to us? - JMRAMOS0109, 17:23 Hrs. May 24, 2010 (Philippine Time)
*Hi, JM. Great stuff.  However this article is about the official Birthday of the British Sovereign. Malaysia is in a very special position, with a distinctly British-flavoured Trooping ceremony, with important differences,  but not celebrating the British sovereign's birthday in that Trooping - and that is the subject of this article, which you'll see is on the London Project. However, the Yang di-Pertuang article has a section about the Malaysian Sovereign's Official Birthday and have moved your copy to there with a note crediting your Authorship, on the History page.  In this article, on which I have worked for the last four years, I have retained the best elements of your research and done a summary showing the splendour and uniqueness of the event.  I've also managed to provide a link to a Youtube video - although at least one Administrator I've dealt with in the past has said that Wikipedia apparently discourages these (don't know why....)   How is it in the Philippines?  Weather here is up-and-down like a yo-yo, as we say.  All the best, FClef  (talk) 01:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Malaysia has Trooping the Colour too 

message: I even included a section about the Trooping the Colour in Thailand every December. JMRAMOS0109, 18:02 Hrs. August 23, 2010 (Philippine Time)
: I have some concerns about the other countries, it makes sense to mention the Commonwealth realms, like Canada and Australia but we need to be careful with how we handle the non commonwealth realms with completely separate ceremonies, even if they are very similar. Youtube is also not a reliable source. 
: If there are sources to back up that these countries basically based their ceremonies on the British trooping the colour then a single section covering outside of the commonwealth realms may be appropriate. But we need to be clear it is just based on the ceremony and its not connected to Trooping the Colour in the UK to avoid confusion.  BritishWatcher (talk) 10:24, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: The Trooping The Colour in Thailand

message: The article says:  Her Majesty started riding in a carriage in 1987.
What did she do before that? Walk, automobile (taxi - maybe?), bicycle. roller skates? OK, just kidding, I know she was carried in a litter but the reader should not be left guessing. By specifying a date and using the word "started" one is left wondering what happened previously.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.207.161.12 (talk) 20:23, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: Similar ceremonies in non-commonwealth countries should be moved to separate articles. I'll move the Thai ceremony to the descriptive title Thai Royal Guards parade. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:52, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other countries 

message: I've often heard of TtC being broadcast around the world. More information on this would be interesting, if anyone knows. How popular is it in Commonwealth nations, or Germany, for instance? I've seen at least one video with German commentary.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.185.149 (talk) 11:13, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

First Ever Movietone Newsreel Story - Trooping the Colour 1929  
Published on Jul 9, 2015
This was the first story in the first ever British Movietone News edition of the newsreel. The second story is here - excisedlink - these two stories made up the first British sound newsreel.
Duke of Connaught takes salute at King's Birthday Parade. Shot of the procession with the Royal Brothers on horseback leading. Various shots of the ceremony. Close shots of the troops in full dress marching past camera. Good shots of this.
I always seem to do this wiki editing thing wrong so figured I would add it to the talk page and let someone else sort it out for us.

replies: text: Here is a better direct link to the video, which is pretty high-quality for the time, with sound well synchronized. And note how quickly and perfectly the dressing in open order is done. Dhtwiki (talk) 06:43, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Made some updates, but until the 2023 Trooping? We won't know if the King (who's in his mid-70's) will arrive on horseback, or in a carriage. GoodDay (talk) 15:34, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  2023 Trooping, and beyond 

message: I know the UK has a king and will have one for two more generations, circumstances notwithstanding, but the UK allows for reigning Queens and well has had some. Given the history of the British Monarchy, should we be more gender neutral and just replace references to the King with Monarch instead, that way we won't have to change the reference every time the reigning monarch changes gender or sex?
