The monarch, dressed in a elegant coat and hat, is seen reviewing the parade of firemen, firefighters, and officers, as they proudly line up in formation. Queen Elizabeth II, who has been the monarch since 1952, is known for her unwavering support of the emergency services and her annual Trooping the Colour birthday parade.
