Guardsman faint at Trooping the Colour ceremony during Queen's 91st birthday celebrations as UK swelters in 26C heat

Under blue skies and brilliant summer sunshine the Queen watched the centuries-old military spectacle of might, splendour and precision marching on Horse Guards Parade

A guardsman has fainted during hot conditions at the Queen's Trooping the Colour ceremony.

With The Queen and the rest of the family watching on, the unfortunate soldier took a tumble during the performance at Horse Guards Parade.

He began to wobble before hitting the deck - first on his knees, before tumbling forward head first into the deck.

The show went on as two officials appeared with a stretcher to collect the soldier.

Five Guardsmen were stretchered off Horse Guards Parade in all during the ceremony.

Temperatures are forecast to hit 29C today in London in one of the hottest days of the year but temps were a touch cooler at around 26C earlier today.

The Queen , 91, marked her official birthday today with the pomp and pageantry of the famous event - but also acknowledged the "succession of terrible tragedies" in recent weeks.

Under blue skies and brilliant summer sunshine the Queen watched the centuries-old military spectacle of might, splendour and precision marching on Horse Guards Parade, Henry VIII's former jousting yard.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte were the stars of the show on a packed Buckingham Palace balcony, as they watched open-mouthed at an RAF flypast for Trooping the Colour.

The young Royals joined the Queen, Duke of Edinburgh and the wider Royal family for an annual appearance, waving to large crowds outside the palace.

The Prince, whose father the Duke of Cambridge is an air rescue pilot, had appeared initially underwhelmed by his public duties, resting his chin in his hands as his family assembled in front of the cameras.
