Duke of Cambridge gets all togged up to rehearse for next week's Trooping the Colour parade



NEW A flamboyant display treated tourists visiting Buckingham Palace today as the Queen's personal troops geared up for the Trooping the Colour parade. But one of the guardsmen taking part in the very British display of pageantry looked very familiar, even with a huge bearskin hat covering his eyes. Prince William joined 1,400 officers and men in the Colonel's Review this morning, a rehearsal for next Saturday's Trooping the Colour. The Duke of Cambridge, dressed in the traditional red and gold guardsmen uniform, practiced his salute as he rode a white horse on The Mall.
