laura scott, bbc news., but this year the celebration of the queen's official birthday will look very different. instead of trooping the colour there will be a much smaller ceremony — held in the grounds of windsor castle. as our royal correspondent sarah campbell discovered, most of the horses who would have been involved have spent lockdown enjoying the leicestershire countryside, and are only now retraining for their return to ceremonial duties. preparing to get back on parade. for the equine stars of trooping the colour, training is under way once again. when the horses come back from grass, it's a bit like they've been sat on the beach for a few months eating lots of pizza — they're generally a lot fatter. trooping the colour is an important fixture in the regiment‘s calendar. it's the epitome of precision, pomp and pageantry in front of huge crowds. the horses love it. they love their work, they love the attention they get as well from it all. so you'll all miss it this year? yeah! everyone's going to
