The British royal family have attended the annual celebration of the monarch's birthday, Trooping the Colour, which took place in London on June 14.

This year's date was exactly five months ahead of the King's actual birthday on November 14.

Traditionally though, the celebratory parade is held in the warmer UK months, hence it's June date.

This was the first year the Red Arrows used a circa 40 percent blend of sustainable aviation fuel with normal jet fuel for propulsion, as well as a renewable biofuel – Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil – for its smoke trails.

This is thought to be the first time anywhere in the world that two environmentally friendly fuels are being used at the same time by a national aerobatic team.
