Colourful pageant, street fests cap Queen’s Platinum Jubilee:
A colourful street pageant highlighting Britain’s diversity paraded through central London on Sunday, the final day of a long holiday weekend honouring Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne.
In a crowning moment for her Platinum Jubilee, Queen Elizabeth II waved at tens of thousands of adoring crowds from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, delighting fans who had hoped to catch a glimpse of her during the final day of festivities.
With the ringing of bells at Westminster Abbey, a spectacular military parade featuring 200 horses began the ceremony as they marched down the Mall to Buckingham Palace.

They flanked the gilded gold state coach, a horse-drawn carriage that transported the queen to her coronation 69 years ago.
The queen wasn’t taking part in the pageant though a virtual version of her, drawn from archival video from her 1953 coronation, was shown in the coach’s windows.
