Pomp and ceremony closed the final day of festivities celebrating the Queen’s 70-year reign with an iconic Platinum Jubilee Pageant
The Queen was missing from the royal box but crowds burst in joy later when her royal standard was raised above Buckingham Palace indicating she was in residence.
Thousands had gathered to watch the spectacle.
The glorious pageant was split into four acts: For Queen And Country with a military parade; The Time Of Our Lives progressing through seven decades of culture, music and fashion; Let’s Celebrate telling the story of the Queen’s life in 12 chapters with corgi puppets and carnival creations; and the Happy And Glorious musical spectacle.
The Gold State Coach, featuring archive footage of the Queen projected onto the windows, led the parade of military units and it seemed as if the monarch was sat in the carriage.
Charles took the salute of various military units when they passed the royal box and he stood to acknowledge the servicemen and women as they passed.
