A TROMBONE-PLAYING trooper tried to soldier on after fainting amid sweltering temperatures during rehearsals for the King's birthday Trooping the Colour yesterday.
The member of the Massed Bands of the Household Division was one of several to collapse in the parade - on the hottest day of the year so far, as temperatures topped 32C.
After coming around, he got to his feet and tried to keep playing before being led away.
Dressed in woollen tunics and bearskin hats, more than 1,400 soldiers were inspected by Prince William at Horse Guards Parade in London.
