British royal traditions and the diplomatic forum
Traditional royal festivities in the United Kingdom form part of British identity and, over the centuries, have brought together diverse sections of society. These celebrations form part of the country’s cultural heritage and are characterised by specific dress codes, the ritual of afternoon tea and, where applicable, military parades.
Most of these events take place in spring and summer, a period when numerous tourists join in the activities in the city centre, as is the case with the military parade known as Trooping the Colour.
