George Steals Queen's Birthday Show
|

It was the Queen's official birthday today but Prince George stole the show on just his second public appearance.

The toddler joined his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on the balcony at Buckingham Palace to watch the traditional fly-past of aircraft.

George wore a sky-blue shirt and shorts with matching shoes.

He was held by William andwaved to the crowd below.

The one-year-old looked up at the aircraft as they roared over the Palace to conclude the pomp and pageantry of the Trooping the Colour ceremony.

It was Kate's first official engagement since the birth of Princess Charlotte six weeks ago.

She wore a coat by Catherine Walker and hat by Lock and Co.

There was no sign of the young princess.

The Queen's actual birthday was on April 21, when she turned 89. However, her official birthday is always celebrated nationally on the second Saturday in June when the weather is usually reckoned to be more predictable.
