London Centre for Photography

It is soon to be that time of year again! Whether you are an ardent royalist or just want to let out your inner paparazzi, this annual parade is the ideal event for you to practice crowd and action shots.

The parade goes from the Palace to Horseguard's Parade then back again giving you two chances to shoot the procession. It is followed by the flypast at 1300hrs watched by the King from the Palace balcony.

We will be meeting EARLY to have the best chance of getting a place to shoot at the front of the parade. While we are waiting we can photograph people and preparations before it all starts.
