The Queen says she is “humbled and deeply touched” by the Platinum Jubilee celebrations that have taken place across the UK and Commonwealth.
\nIn a “thank you message”, she said she had been inspired by the kindness, joy and kinship she had seen.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the Queen waved from the balcony of Buckingham Palace as a long weekend of celebrations, culminating in a Platinum Pageant, drew to a close.<\/p>\n
She was flanked by three generations of her family.<\/p>\n
Her appearance rounded off a huge star-studded Jubilee pageant along The Mall which saw carnival floats celebrating the seven decades of her reign.<\/p>\n
Jubilee parties and street lunches have also been held across the UK.<\/p>\n
The pageant began with a military parade with personnel from the UK’s armed forces and from across the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n
The 260-year-old Gold State Coach which carried the Queen, who is 96, to her coronation in 1953 rode through the streets, with the Queen appearing as a hologram inside.<\/p>\n
As the floats made their way past during the two hour show, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George – the next three generations of monarchs – all watched from the royal box.<\/p>\n
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge later tweeted: “Amazing display of street art, theatre, music, sport and more… what a joyous occasion!”<\/p>\n
