GEORGE Ezra's "censored" Platinum Party at the Palace performance has baffled his fans after he left out some of the chorus' lyrics. More than several thousand people attended the spectacular event outside Buckingham Palace to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, and millions more tuned in at home.

Queen Elizabeth is being celebrated with a star-studded concert!

Prince Charles and Prince William each took the stage Saturday at the star-studded “Platinum Party” at Buckingham Palace and paid tribute to the weekend’s distinguished honouree, Queen Elizabeth II.

Superstars from both sides of the Atlantic joined forces on Saturday evening in London to put on a Platinum Party at the Palace, as part of the celebrations to celebrate the British monarch’s 70th anniversary on the throne. 

Cheeky comedian Lee Mack wasted no time in using the Queen's Platinum Jubilee as an opportunity to stick the knife in Boris Johnson – metaphorically of course.The northern comic, 53, opened the concert, which is being held outside the gates of Buckingham Palace, by making light of the so-called 'partygate' affair in Downing Street. Speaking with the Prime Minister in attendance, who was in the royal box, Mack said: "Finally we can say the words ‘party’ and ‘gate’ and it’s a positive." The joke drew cheers and laughs from the crowd.The embarrassing quip comes just a day after the PM was booed outside St Paul's Cathedral as he attended the Thanksgiving service with members of the Royal Family.

Skipping another affair? After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle publicly attended the Service of Thanksgiving as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, the twosome were notably absent from her “Platinum Party” concert — though other royal family members were in attendance.

Just sayin. #PlatinumPartyatthePalace,” one user pointed out.Meanwhile, another joked: "Mimi Webb singing, 'I want to set your house on fire' outside Buckingham Palace wasn't the way I expected the Revolution to start, but here we are #PlatinumPartyatthePalace."It comes after eagle-eyed viewers spotted George Ezra missed out a vital lyric from his hit single Green Green Grass.

George Ezra appeared to miss some lyrics in his song 'Green Green Grass' during his performance for the ongoing Jubilee celebrations. Part of the chorus to the undeniably catchy tune goes: “Green green grass, blue blue sky. You better throw a party on the day that I die.” However, those watching this evening's Party at the Palace noticed the singer missed the part about throwing a party on the day he dies – sparking people to believe it was something to do with the Queen and her ongoing health issues.
