King Charles and other senior royals wore black armbands at the annual “Trooping the Colour” military parade on Saturday as a mark of respect for the victims of the Air India plane crash.

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner bound for London crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, India, on Thursday, killing at least 270 people in the worst aviation disaster in a decade.

A minute’s silence was held after the king inspected the parade, which marks his official birthday.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said the King had requested amendments to the program “as a mark of respect for the lives lost, the families in mourning and all the communities affected by this awful tragedy”.

Later, the Royal Family stood on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the traditional fly past.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales, alongside their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

As the crowd started to chant “God save the King” and “we love the King”, anti-monarchy protestors responded by chanting “not my King”, the BBC reported.
