How wonderful was the Trooping the Colour ceremony?

The horses were amazing, how they stood so still for such a long time and danced and pranced to the music. Seamus, the Irish wolfhound mascot for the Irish Guards, behaved impeccably.

My grandpa was a Grenadier Guard and died in the First World War in Ypres aged 23.

What an amazing superb spectacle this parade was. We really are good, probably the best in the world, at pageantry. It makes us all very proud and brings us together. Wonderful to see Prince Charles, Prince William and Princess Anne on horseback.

Just as we thought it could not get any better we saw the amazing air display with an extra cheer for the Spitfires and the Red Arrows and the formation of 70 in the sky. Superb! It is a cliche but I felt so very proud to be British. I loved every minute.
