Which event is celebrated in June regardless of the monarch's birthday?

Think about how the monarchy marks birthdays in Britain. The monarch has two birthdays: the actual date of birth and a ceremonial date called the official birthday. The official birthday is always celebrated in June, with the big public parade Trooping the Colour happening then, no matter when the monarch was actually born. This setup lets everyone look forward to a grand summer celebration each year. The other options don’t fit because they aren’t the fixed June royal celebration tied to the monarch’s birthday; National Day and Flag Day aren’t British royal events, and a Royal Anniversary refers to the anniversary of accession, not the birthday itself.
