A rehearsal of British Royal Guards was particularly harrowing on Saturday when three of them collapsed to the ground in the sweltering heat.

On Archyde.com images, a trombonist who fell to the ground even tried to continue playing his instrument despite his unfortunate position. However, he was brought on a stretcher a few moments later.

The Royal Guards gathered to train for King Charles’s official birthday ceremonies.

The temperature in London on Saturday reached over 30 degrees Celsius, a high in a year.

This military procession called “Colonel’s Review” is a kind of evaluation finally before being shown to the king on June 17, reports Archyde.com.

It was Prince William who carried out the inspection and tweeted that he was happy with the job.

“A big thank you to all the soldiers (sic) who participated in the colonel’s review this morning in the heat. Difficult conditions but you all did a very good job. Thanks,” he wrote.
