The Platinum Jubilee lasted for four days with the Queen joining the members of the Royal Family to celebrate the iconic event. The UK Government website stated that there were a total of 3,673 public events and 3,848 street parties or private events” across the UK, as people up and down the nation joined in the celebrations. The Queen, 96, missed the two events of the thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral on Friday, June 3, and the Epsom Derby on Saturday, June 4, due to her episodic mobility.

However, the nation was able to see her wave twice from the Buckingham Palace balcony on the weekend.

Elsewhere, Prince Charles, accompanied by his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, represented the Queen at several events including the Thanksgiving Service at St Paul’s cathedral and the Jubilee Pageant.
