One of my favorite QEII outfits, twice in one month! What a treat. Here, of course, it's styled with her usual choice for Trooping the Colour: the Brigade of Guards Badge, representing the five Household Regiments.

One change to this year's ceremony: both The Duke of Edinburgh and The Duke of Kent ditched their uniforms in favor of morning dress and top hats. On a day so hot several guardsmen fainted, I don't think anyone can blame a 96-year-old and an 81-year-old for opting out of bearskin hats and heavy uniforms.

The Queen also issued a statement today and they observed a minute of silence for the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire.
Hitting just the right note, as always.
