The first time crowds were given a hint that the monarch would be making an appearance was when the royal standard was raised at 4.30pm to express that the Queen was in residence at Buckingham Palace. Fans flocked towards the palace from The Mall to be ready for Her Majesty.

The balcony appearance took place after the carnival procession comprised of 6,000 performers who made their way from Horse Guards, along Whitehall to Admiralty Arch and down The Mall to Buckingham Palace.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not appear for the celebration, but the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children Prince George, eight, Princess Charlotte, seven and Prince Louis, four, enjoyed the two-and-a-half-hour for the spectacular extravaganza.

After enjoying the first day's celebrations, for Trooping the Colour, the Queen was unable to attend day two or three's celebrations, so missed the Party at the Palace which took place on Saturday. Despite enjoying herself immensely at the first event, her ongoing mobility issues caused her too much "discomfort" to attend any further events in person.
