List of Trooping the Colour by event from 1890

This is a list of the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London, from 1890 to the present. The first Trooping the Colour on Horse Guards Parade took place on 4 June 1805. In 1895 two Troopings were performed, on consecutive days, by different battalions of the Scots Guards at Windsor Castle and Horse Guards Parade.
==Date ranges==
From 1890 to 1900, for Queen Victoria (born on 24 May), the date was various weekdays from 20 May to 3 June, only one of which was her birthday.
From 1901 to 1909, for King Edward VII (born on 9 November), it was a Friday from 24 May to 28 June.
From 1910 to 1935, for King George V (born on 3 June), it was various weekdays from 27 May to 22 June, most of which were not his birthday.

* from 1952 to 1958, it was a Thursday from 31 May to 13 June;
* from 1959 to 1978, it was a Saturday from 2 to 15 June;
* from 1979 to 2017, it was the Saturday from 11 to 17 June (the 2nd Saturday, 8 to 14, of June was a myth);

* in 2022 it was Thursday 2 June.
For King Charles III (born on 14 November), his first parade took place on 17 June 2023 and his second took place on 15 June 2024.
==List==
 The list in this 1989 edition covers 1895–1989. It contains 1 date and 3 weekday errors (1897, 1904, 1908, 1914), and denies the 1911 Parade occurred. Scans showing monarch's intended birthday celebrations up to the 1996 event. Before the 1938 event, it was announced a few days or weeks ahead, then changed to 10 to 18 months ahead. The announcement date is very erratic. Some dates are different for military bases, "Foreign Stations", Customs, Docks and other countries. Announces the event long in advance, and confirms it occurred earlier that day, from 1998; also announces it shortly before in 1997. Omits Fairlight/Fairway (1968).
