For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.For the last 200 years or so the monarch's official birthday has been marked by Trooping The Colour - this is an open air ceremony so the official birthday is always in the summer. I believe that other countires have similar customs. So really the date has no significance other than it being a day set aside for pomp and ceremony when it hopefully won't rain!
