A serviceman collapsed in 26C heat as Prince William took on his new Trooping the Colour role earlier today.
The soldier was taking part in the Colonel's Review ahead of the King's birthday parade next week when he collapsed. He had to be taken away by stretcher during the ceremony.
British Army's foot guard regiments wear bearskin hats and ceremonial uniforms during events such as Trooping the Colour and with temperature in London hitting 29C, the weight of the clothing became too heavy, reports the Mirror.
