On Saturday, during the Colonel’s Review ceremony in London, multiple British soldiers fell victim to the scorching heat that made them faint. Prince William was present to witness the situation as the soldiers donned their woolen tunics and bearskin hats. More than 1,400 soldiers from the Household Division and the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery participated in the ceremony as the Prince, who is the honorary Colonel of the Welsh Guards, reviewed them. The mercury hit 30 C (86 F) in London, making it extremely challenging for the soldiers. At least three guardsmen fainted during the parade. Prince William tweeted his gratitude to all the soldiers who participated, acknowledging the difficult conditions and their outstanding performance.
Trooping the Colour, a yearly military parade to commemorate the monarch’s official birthday, is scheduled to take place on June 17 and the Colonel’s Review was a practice session for it. Last year, a soldier collapsed while keeping vigil over the late Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin.
