Queen's birthday marked with physically distanced event at Windsor Castle

Welsh Guards stage unique ceremony to replace trooping the colour during lockdown

The Queen's official birthday has been marked with a brief ceremonial tribute by the military under physical distancing measures.

Soldiers from the Welsh Guards, who a few weeks ago were staffing coronavirus test centres, staged the unique event in the grounds of Windsor Castle, as the head of state made her first official public appearance since lockdown was imposed.
