Jubilee concert

One of the showpiece events for the platinum jubilee is a concert with Queen, Diana Ross, Elton John and more.

This only reinforces my belief that the staunchest royalists all spent the year 2000 smashed on WKD and listening to Oxide and Neutrino. Andrew Lloyd Webber is now sitting at a piano with Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is singing a version of You Say from Hamilton with lyrics rewritten to reflect the jubilee. What I like most about this Lion King bit is that they’re all waving birds on sticks around, like the things they stick on top of tips to keep the seagulls out. At a concert for the Queen. Remember when Windsor Castle burned down in the 1990s? Either way, they’re singing Notorious and they look for all the world like they’re having a ball. And now for Sigala and Ella Eyre, singing the sort of song that ITV2 would choose to soundtrack a Take Me Out promo. Single-handedly responsible for rescuing the UK’s reputation at Eurovision, it now falls upon him to make us all forget about Andrew Lloyd Webber. He’s wearing a sparkly Union Jack pyjama onesie, and he has managed to unite a bored and fractious crowd. Judi Dench and David Beckham are now being projected onto the side of Buckingham Palace to thank the Queen for her service. She’s singing Empire State of Mind, but for the last chorus she’s changed “New York” to “London”. “London, concrete jungle where dreams are made of”, she sings. I’ve just checked Twitter, and Lee Mack seems to be the highest trending performer of the night. This is my proudest achievement, and a fitting high to go out on. You know, I’ve been writing this liveblog without a break for almost four hours and I haven’t used the term ‘Platty Joobs’ once.

Queen Elizabeth II may have to miss the Platinum Jubilee concert but she was still present in a surprise video recorded with Paddington Bear.

It was the couple’s first public appearance in the U.K. since they stepped back from royal duties and moved to California two years ago. The queen is widely known as an avid horse lover, and she has only missed the Epsom Derby a handful of times. Apart from attending Friday’s service, the couple has so far stayed out of the limelight. A spokesperson for the couple said they were spending the day “privately” and were not joining some 30 other members of the royal family at Saturday’s concert. The queen has had problems moving around lately, which the palace describes as “episodic mobility issues,” limiting her public appearances in recent months. “She’s been breeding horses for over 60 years.

Alicia Keys, Diana Ross and Sam Ryder took to the stage, but the Royal Family were the real stars.

We do know her favourite songs predate the rock era. There were also a couple of references to politics. And so, to my surprise, was the moment that drones floating above Buckingham Palace created an image of the Queen's beloved corgis. Immediately afterwards, Queen (the band) kicked off the music in style, embellishing We Will Rock You with military pomp, courtesy of the Royal Marine Drummers. "Is this girl on fire?" At most pop concerts, the audience don't turn their backs on the stage.

It was not the first time the queen has revealed her comic talents to a large audience.

The queen wasn’t at the concert. It’s all very posh but things, of course, go wrong for the accident-prone bear. A teapot goes flying and a dessert is splattered on a butler’s face.

The presentation began with a clip of the queen’s 1989 Christmas message, in which she called on all nations to work together to protect the earth for “our children and our children’s children.” On Saturday, five of her former racehorses were paraded, and 40 jockeys who have ridden for the queen formed a guard of honor before the national anthem was played. It was the couple’s first public appearance in the U.K. since they stepped back from royal duties and moved to California two years ago. Apart from attending Friday’s service, the couple has so far stayed out of the limelight. But he also highlighted his mother’s role as a symbol of stability, unifying the U.K. and the Commonwealth as they negotiated this rapidly changing world. “Her majesty is well known for her sense of humor, so it should be no surprise that she decided to take part in tonight’s sketch,’’ the palace said. Despite the queen’s absence, spirits were high during an event that culminated with appearances by the monarch’s son and grandson. That is what we celebrate tonight.” The sketch featured the queen having a cream tea with British national treasure Paddington Bear at Buckingham Palace. That is why we are here. “Not for me,” she said, decked out from head to toe in the flags of the U.K. and Wales. “She turned up on the first day, and we know she would have been there if she could have been.” The queen’s performance with an animated bear drew laughter and loud applause from the overflow crowd at the concert outside Buckingham Palace that was the highlight of the third of four days of festivities celebrating her Platinum Jubilee. The 96-year-old monarch did not attend the concert in person due to what the palace describes as “episodic mobility issues.”

As the Prince spoke, images of key moments in the Queen's life were projected onto Buckingham Palace.

Your Majesty, you have been with us in our difficult times. But I know what really gets my mother up in the morning is all of you – watching at home. You continue to make history. Your “strength and stay” is much missed this evening but I am sure he is here in spirit… Looking back, we think of the countless State occasions that are milestones along this nation’s road. The Prince closed his speech with three cheers for the Queen before Diana Ross gave the final performance of the night, saying that Windsor Castle is only 20 miles away and "If we cheer loud enough she might just hear us!"
