"Tonight has been full of such optimism and joy. And perhaps most inspiringly, the cause is now being spearheaded by an amazing and united generation of young people across the world. That is what we celebrate tonight. In fact, Mr Johnson was booed on his arrival at the Platinum Jubilee thanksgiving service on Friday. You laugh and cry with us. That is why we are here. "More and more businesses and politicians are answering the call. "These pictures on your house are the story of your life and ours. "You have met us and talked with us. "And I tell you what, finally we can say the words "party" and "gate" and it's a positive. "Your Majesty … Mummy, the scale of this evening's celebration and the outpouring of warmth and affection over this whole Jubilee weekend is our way of saying thank you — thank you from your family, the country, the Commonwealth, in fact, the whole world. "We are here right outside the gates of Buckingham Palace for the party of a lifetime.

The Queen is widely known as an avid horse lover, and she has only missed the Epsom Derby a handful of times. The Queen has had problems moving around lately, limiting her public appearances in recent months. Diana Ross will close the show with her first UK live performance in 15 years.

"I keep mine in here...for later," she says smiling.

The Queen stole the show in a skit during a star-studded event celebrating her record 70 years on the throne.

Today, in 2022 – as the Queen celebrates her Platinum Jubilee – the pressing need to protect and restore our planet has never been more urgent. “And although those breakthroughs have increased our awareness of the impact humans have on our world, our planet has become more fragile. “You have met us and talked with us. Elton John sounded as good as he ever has in a moving version of Your Song, recorded in the drawing room at Windsor Castle and dedicated to the sovereign. With the palace turned into a giant Imax, personally chosen images of the Queen throughout her reign by Prince Charles were projected throughout the show. Outside Buckingham Palace the United Kingdom of old – insecure, self-deprecating and sometimes tortured – was discarded for a slick, self-assured, unashamedly British celebration that provided only the best for the best.
