The Trooping of the Colour, which has its roots in the ceremony used for guard mounting from Horse Guards Parade, London in the eighteenth century, was first performed on a Sovereign's birthday for King George III.
Throughout Queen Victoria's reign the Foot Guards performed this same ceremonial in honour of her birthday (24th May) and it has continued to be held ever since on a day set aside as The Sovereign's Official Birthday.
The Regimental Sergeant Major is the lynch pin around which the ceremony revolves. The R.S.M., who never carries a drawn sword on parade except on this one occasion, is responsible for passing the Colour to the Colour Ensign.
