The Duke of Kent was on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to see King Charles return from Trooping the Colour.
Prince Edward, 88, looked on from the centre of the balcony as his cousin arrived at the Palace from the spectacular ceremony which had taken place at Horse Guards Parade.
The Duke of Kent rode in Trooping for many years and in the last part of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, he sat on the dais with her to take the salute.
As King Charles oversaw the third Sovereign’s Birthday Parade of his reign, the Duke watched him take a further salute from the gates of the Palace.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Sir Tim Laurence joined the Duke of Kent on the balcony for the salutes.
Later, the whole Royal Family emerged to watch a spectacular flypast which ended with a patriotic display of red, white and blue smoke from the Red Arrows.
