Perhaps it is only in recent years that the famously practical monarch
has grown a little superstitious, having witnessed for herself the
events of June 13th 1981.Trooping The Colour is usually memorable for all of the right reasons: the pomp, the pageantry, the music. The Queen's Birthday Parade is, quite simply, one of the most magnificent and impressive events in the royal calendar. However, for the parade which took place just weeks before the spectacular wedding of Charles and Diana, the annual June ceremony which fell on the 13th of the month lived long in the memory for all of the wrong reasons. 
Although she wasn't to know this until later, the Queen's assailant thankfully shot nothing more dangerous than six blank bullets from his pistol.
