King Charles Parade Sees Somber Tributes and Protest

King Charles and Queen Camilla rode through London streets as crowds celebrated the monarch's official birthday. The royal couple traveled inside a horse-drawn carriage during the military parade. Prince William, Princess Kate and their three children joined the ceremony at Horse Guards Parade. Thousands of people watched soldiers march past the royal family. The traditional event featured colorful uniforms and military bands.

Royal family members wore black armbands to honor victims of a recent Air India plane crash. The disaster killed 241 passengers and crew members from around the world. More than 50 British citizens died when the aircraft went down. At least eight people on the ground also lost their lives. The King requested this special tribute during his birthday celebration.

Princess Kate smiled and waved to spectators after her cancer treatment last year. Her youngest son Prince Louis showed his gap-toothed grin from the carriage window. The seven-year-old boy sat next to his older brother Prince George. King Charles stayed inside his carriage rather than riding a horse because of his cancer treatment. The ceremony felt more relaxed compared to previous years.

Red Arrow jets flew over Buckingham Palace using environmentally friendly fuel. The aircraft created green smoke trails instead of traditional colors. King Charles supports cleaner aviation fuel for royal flights. Anti-monarchy protesters waved flags and chanted near the parade route. The celebration brought together 1,350 military troops for the special day.
