Tourists outside Buckingham Palace had a rare opportunity Saturday to see Prince William on horseback.The prince was taking part in a rehearsal for Saturday's "Trooping the Colour," a major event to mark Queen Elizabeth II's official birthday. The queen turned 85 in April, but the public party is held in June when the weather is better. The custom dates from 1748.William, riding a mottled gray horse, was wearing the red Irish Guards tunic with a blue sash that he wore at his April 29 wedding to Kate Middleton. William, 28, was made colonel of the Irish Guards in February. He is expected to wear the same outfit Saturday.
