Pomp and pageantry closes Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
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.
Celebrities from across the years – travelled on buses with a grand ending from Ed Sherran.
The Queen says, when it comes to marking 70 years as monarch, ‘there is no guidebook to follow’… it really is a first’.
On Sunday, Her Majesty emerged on the balcony of her former permanent residence again.
Staring out at the crowd surrounding Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth was joined by three generations of royals including Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and their children.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
