The tourist crowds gathering for the balcony appearance were much smaller than usual, and importantly Republic was very loud and visible and right in front of the palace.
This was the first time Republic protested Trooping the Colour and the famous balcony moment. It won't be the last!
Don't miss the chance to be part of our most iconic protest of the year - join Republic for our Trooping the Colour Protest as the royals come out on the balcony.
Let’s make this the biggest anti-monarchy protest yet, and tell Charles it's time to abolish the monarchy.
Location
The Republic Team will be there from 8.30am on The Mall. We’ll be protesting on The Mall, nearer the Buckingham Palaceside and Green Park - the exact location to be announced soon!

This is what people are saying about Republic protests!
Thanks for organising. I went by myself, didn't know anyone. It was really well organised . Obviously the organisers didn't have time to make a point of talking to everyone who turned up but it was really easy to join in. Two trollies full of placards to help ourselves to. Bigger banners unfurled by organisers. I was made to feel really welcome , plenty of people happy to talk and Graham and George were very accessible to ask questions of about the procedure of the day. Also the huge dinosaur was impressive and a great symbol , quite noticeable. A Tyrannosaurus Rex named Chuck The Rex . Quite humourous and suitably belongs in a museum. Anyone wanting to go should not feel out or place.
It was great being with so many interesting people and sharing our thoughts. It made me feel part of the campaign.
I enjoyed talking to other people who felt the same way as me.
I enjoyed doing something for a cause with like-minded people. Good organisation of the protest and coordination of volunteers.
There was a real sense of community - I came alone but felt very welcomed by all!
I enjoyed meeting other Republic members, feeling part of a movement. I was also pleased that the protest was mentioned in the BBC website report of the event.
It was great to hear encouragement from tourists who were anti-monarchy. It's always good to meet up with Republic members I have met before, and those I haven't!

Trooping the Colour Protest
We want to see the monarchy abolished and the King replaced with an elected, democratic head of state, not running the government but representing the nation independently of our politicians. An elected, effective head of state.
