How the Queen's Jubilee celebrations will include touching nods to Prince Philip

ok.co.uk:

The Queen is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee this weekend, marking 70 years of her reign. While the event is bound to be full of plenty of joyous moments for the longest reigning monarch in British history, it will also be the first milestone the Queen is celebrating without Prince Philip by her side.The Queen became a widow last year when Prince Philip died aged 99 after 73 years of marriage.

She previously paid tribute to her beloved husband calling him her “strength and stay” over the years. While the event is a first without him, there will be small gestures throughout to pay tribute to the royal consort.

Ed Sheeran is to perform his song Perfect at the Jubilee Pageant in a moving tribute to the Queen and Philip. At the finale of the carnival procession through the streets of London on Sunday, Ed will sing the hit romantic ballad as footage of the couple fills the giant screens around the stage.

A Bollywood-inspired interpretation of the Queen and the Duke’s wedding day will also take place on The Mall. Later, a representation of Philip’s beloved sailing boat Bluebottle will feature in the section devoted to the Queen’s Favourites, which will also include puppet corgis and horses.
