The Queen and royal family were in attendance when the soldier fainted during the military ceremony, which is also known as the Queen’s Birthday Parade. According to the Press Association, the celebration featured 1,500 soldiers and 300 horses.

But of course this isn't the first soldier to faint in the presence of royalty. On Friday an RAF serviceman fainted and was carried away by paramedics at St. Paul's Cathedral shortly before the Queen arrived.
