Britain's royal family came together on Saturday for the annual Trooping the Colour.

The event, which is also known as the King's Birthday Parade, was attended by King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla, as well as Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The family was all smiles as they stood on the famous Buckingham Palace Balcony for the Royal Air Force flypast.
