The Queen has delighted crowds by making a surprise appearance at the end of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The monarch appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony, dressed in green, alongside the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, and the Cambridge family.

It came as pomp and pageantry dominated the final day of festivities celebrating the Queen’s 70-year reign. A ceremonial military procession launched the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.

Guardsmen, Gurkhas, Royal Marines and the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment in their breastplates and plumed feathers were among the hundreds of servicemen and women who led the way marching along the streets around Buckingham Palace.

Thousands had gathered to watch the spectacle mirroring scenes from Saturday night when The Mall was filled with people delighted by Queen’s appearance with Paddington Bear at the Party at the Palace, and entertained by stars like Sir Elton John and Alicia Keys.
