Royal superfans rock purple, white and blue take a look at Trooping the Colour
Devoted royal superfans are rocking the red, white and blue look as they delight in seeing Kate, Prince William, King Charles and Queen Camilla at Trooping the Colour today.
Thousands of people have lined the streets from Buckingham Palace to Whitehall today to watch the centuries old parade and flyby that commemorates the King’s birthday.
Some familiar faces have been spotted in the crowds, including veteran royal watcher John Loughrey, 69, who famously camped on The Mall for over a week before the King’s Coronation last year.
He could be seen sporting his Union Jack beanie adorned with royal badges and a Princess Catherine T-shirt.
Another loyal royalist in attendance is 60-year-old Joseph Afrane who is decked out in a full Union Jack outfit.

Mr Afrane, from Battersea, south London, is a regular at Royal events.
He said: ‘I have come here to support the Royal family. I was particularly pleased when I heard the Princess of Wales would be joining us.
‘The Royal family do a great job for the country and support lots of charities. They also bring a lot of tourists to the country which boosts the economy.
‘Without the Royal family there would be no Britain, in my opinion.’
Other fans can be seen at the front of the barriers waving huge Union Jack flags and dressed head to toe in red, white and blue.
Some even brought along life-sized cardboard cut-outs of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
