:00:35. > :00:38.Hello, and a very good evening from St James's Park,
:00:39. > :00:44.on this our final day's celebration for Her Majesty's 90th
:00:45. > :00:52.We've been spoilt with some wonderful scenes already
:00:53. > :00:57.The crowds were six or seven deep on the pavements around
:00:58. > :01:00.St Paul's Cathedral on Friday and yesterday they stretched as far
:01:01. > :01:07.Today was no exception, as the famous red road was transformed
:01:08. > :01:18.I'm joined here in St James's Park by Darcey Bussell,
:01:19. > :01:26.Lesley Garrett and Katie Nicholl. Thanks for staying on. Katie Nicholl
:01:27. > :01:30.from the Mail on Sunday, first of all, you have been here for much of
:01:31. > :01:35.the weekend, what particularly struck you about the days events? I
:01:36. > :01:41.loved today's events, the royal walkabout was so special, seeing all
:01:42. > :01:46.of the Royal family greeting members of the public, many of whom had
:01:47. > :01:51.spent hours in the rain, making it worth their while, and for the Queen
:01:52. > :01:55.to come and pay tribute to those patron ages, the organisations of
:01:56. > :02:00.which she has been the patron for so long, that was special. There was a
:02:01. > :02:08.lovely element of surprise about today. A wonderful speech by the
:02:09. > :02:11.Duke of Cambridge. The pomp and pageantry and celebration and rain
:02:12. > :02:19.and more rain, it has been British and fabulous. The sun is out at the
:02:20. > :02:24.moment. Darcey Bussell, you danced down the Mall. Not many people can
:02:25. > :02:28.say that. How did it feel? It was lovely to see their smiles, and all
:02:29. > :02:31.of the students around, seeing them coming down the Mall and then
:02:32. > :02:38.joining them in the end was such a treat. You are president of the
:02:39. > :02:44.Royal Academy of dance, we saw so many people, we will see clips of
:02:45. > :02:47.them later, an integral part of the parade but specifically where you
:02:48. > :02:52.yourself danced and we saw this great handbag. Tell us the thinking
:02:53. > :02:56.behind that. The important messages to say thank you to the Queen for
:02:57. > :03:02.everything she has done for these charities and we had to reveal that
:03:03. > :03:06.and we had to decide how to reveal that and it was done on a painted
:03:07. > :03:10.piece of silk that had to come out of something and a handbag seemed
:03:11. > :03:15.the most iconic lease of the Queen'swardrobe that we could think
:03:16. > :03:19.of that would work. They thought possibly someone would jump out of
:03:20. > :03:24.it but I thought that was beautiful, beautifully painted. It is exciting
:03:25. > :03:27.because we never rehearsed with the handbag so I can't tell you how
:03:28. > :03:31.nerve wracking it was, whether it would actually come out in the way
:03:32. > :03:36.it should. And frankly that it would be the right way up. Nobody knew
:03:37. > :03:42.what was going to happen. I heard somebody say, when Darcey jumps out
:03:43. > :03:47.the handbag... I know she's good, but... I can't do that at my age. I
:03:48. > :03:50.loved being there for all of this tunes and the Royal family and it
:03:51. > :03:56.was incredibly special because the sun was out, no puddles, and we
:03:57. > :04:01.could relax enjoy it. Lesley Garrett, we know that today was all
:04:02. > :04:07.about our Monica's 90 years but also about her saying thank you to the
:04:08. > :04:12.thousands of people that hold together the charities of which she
:04:13. > :04:16.is patron, over 600. You were dashing around in the studio and
:04:17. > :04:21.across the Mall. Those people were saying thank you but also being
:04:22. > :04:25.treated to a sparkling day out? It was wonderful, the sun shone at the
:04:26. > :04:30.right moment, when the pageant happened. For me what was special
:04:31. > :04:34.was the idea of community. And service to the community. There is
:04:35. > :04:40.no one in the world better at this than the Queen. She is the envy, we
:04:41. > :04:44.are the envy of the world for having her as this shining example of what
:04:45. > :04:49.service to the community is all about. She inspires us to serve our
:04:50. > :04:52.communities also. And the communities that each charity
:04:53. > :04:58.represents and we support, comes directly from her inspiration. And
:04:59. > :05:03.without her, I think this great tradition we have in this country of
:05:04. > :05:07.charitable giving and support really probably wouldn't exist. Do you
:05:08. > :05:13.agree with Lesley? It was a party, yes, but a party with a message?
:05:14. > :05:16.Very much so, and it was a thank you, the fact that the Queen took to
:05:17. > :05:27.the stage to thank the people, not just all of the patronages, but she
:05:28. > :05:30.also mentioned all of the greetings she had received. It is rare that
:05:31. > :05:35.she gets the chance to address her people, she gets the Christmas
:05:36. > :05:40.message but other than that? That truly felt like it was from the
:05:41. > :05:47.heart. And a joke at the end. It is difficult. She is fun. I hope you
:05:48. > :05:51.will still be singing happy birthday in December. The message was very
:05:52. > :05:55.much, I hope you're not! You were pretty close to the Queen, did she
:05:56. > :06:01.look as though she was enjoying it? There was lots of little claps
:06:02. > :06:05.coming, and the smile on her face, having her grandchildren around her,
:06:06. > :06:12.and persons, you could see that they are really happy. It did help.
:06:13. > :06:15.Lovely to talk to you. The celebrations started on Friday with
:06:16. > :06:20.the National Service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral.
:06:21. > :06:22.Let's remind ourselves of that day of celebration which not only
:06:23. > :06:25.commemorated the Queen's 90 years, but was also the Duke
:06:26. > :06:38.The service started with a procession, which included the
:06:39. > :06:43.Archbishop of Canterbury, who had prepared a special sermon. It also
:06:44. > :06:55.included other members of the chapter of St Paul's.
:06:56. > :07:01.And leading the procession was the Pearl sword, a symbol of the
:07:02. > :07:29.authority of the Lord Mayor of London.
:07:30. > :07:38.Dear friends, we come together to give thanks as one family under God
:07:39. > :07:42.for life in all its fullness, for love in all its power. For joy in
:07:43. > :07:51.all its wonder. Most especially today do we give
:07:52. > :07:54.thanks for the length of years that has been granted to our most
:07:55. > :07:56.gracious Sovereign Lady, For her faithful devotion,
:07:57. > :07:59.dutiful commitment, loving leadership, gentle constancy,
:08:00. > :08:05.royal dignity and kindly humanity. And as we give thanks
:08:06. > :08:10.for Her Majesty, so also do we give thanks for Philip, Duke of
:08:11. > :08:13.Edinburgh, and all the Royal Family, for mutual love and support
:08:14. > :08:15.and for service to this country Rejoicing at our good fortune,
:08:16. > :08:23.we nonetheless pray The lonely and the despairing,
:08:24. > :08:30.the sick and the fearful, the weak and the oppressed,
:08:31. > :08:34.that each precious life may be redeemed by love of God
:08:35. > :08:40.and love of neighbour, that together we may share
:08:41. > :09:08.in one another's joy. # Guard us, guide us,
:09:09. > :09:22.keep us, feed us 90 years ago, Her Majesty The Queen
:09:23. > :10:51.was born. Like every human being,
:10:52. > :10:53.knit together in her mother's womb, and today we thank God
:10:54. > :10:56.for the way in which she, like every human being,
:10:57. > :10:58.is fearfully and wonderfully made. Before we ever come to light,
:10:59. > :11:02.God marks our journeys. No one at the Queen's birth knew
:11:03. > :11:27.for what she was destined. Over the 63 years and the 90 years,
:11:28. > :11:33.there has been much to fear. Just as the... And more extraordinary, so we
:11:34. > :11:36.look back on your Majesty's 90 years in the life of our nation, with deep
:11:37. > :11:41.wonder and profound gratitude. Through war and hardship,
:11:42. > :11:43.through turmoil and change, we have been fearfully
:11:44. > :11:54.and wonderfully sustained. You have been an instrument
:11:55. > :11:56.of God's peace. And through you, God has so often
:11:57. > :12:01.turned fear into wonder and joy. In the name of the Father
:12:02. > :12:04.and of the Son and of With the Psalmist, let us call
:12:05. > :12:21.upon the name of the Lord, and give thanks for all that God has
:12:22. > :12:24.done, that the hearts of those God of Glory, we give you thanks
:12:25. > :12:37.for bringing us to birth. Let our mouths be filled
:12:38. > :12:40.with your praise that we may sing God our King, we give you thanks
:12:41. > :12:54.for the 90th birthday Sustain and strengthen
:12:55. > :12:57.her that her reign may God our saviour, we give you thanks
:12:58. > :13:15.for Jesus Christ, your Son. Enliven the Church,
:13:16. > :13:17.his body in the world, God our maker, we give you thanks
:13:18. > :13:36.for the world in which we live. Help us to tend and care for it that
:13:37. > :13:40.all life may enjoy the fruits Like me, author Michael Bond,
:13:41. > :16:02.the creator of Paddington Bear among other characters,
:16:03. > :16:05.also celebrates his 90th Here are his reflections on the 1926
:16:06. > :16:13.vintage and the passing I was born on January
:16:14. > :16:25.the 13th, 1926. My mother took one look at the
:16:26. > :16:32.scales and decided to call it a day. So I was destined to be an only
:16:33. > :16:48.child at the outset. I was fortunate enough to be brought
:16:49. > :16:52.up in a house where books were part My mother was such an avid reader
:16:53. > :16:56.that she wrote to authors to thank them, and in the same letter asking
:16:57. > :16:59.if they would make the next My father's motto was,
:17:00. > :17:06."The most precious gift you can He was a very polite man,
:17:07. > :17:16.and always wore a hat when he went outside in public in case he met
:17:17. > :17:22.anyone he knew. Addressing people older
:17:23. > :17:33.than yourselves by their Christian name, if you were a child, could be
:17:34. > :17:37.a tricky business in those days. Which meant that most adults
:17:38. > :17:39.were either labelled Owing to the horrendous casualties
:17:40. > :17:45.in the First World War, And because most of them lead lonely
:17:46. > :17:52.lives, I was frequently invited It wasn't until I reached the age
:17:53. > :18:12.of 90 that I began to realise the comfort of Louise Haskins'
:18:13. > :18:14.words suggesting that when you have a problem,
:18:15. > :18:17.your best bet is to consult the man Truly, if you put your hand
:18:18. > :18:28.into the hands of God, that shall be to you better
:18:29. > :18:33.than light and safer Hold fast that which is good,
:18:34. > :18:55.render to no one evil for evil. Strengthen the faint-hearted,
:18:56. > :18:58.support the weak, help Love and serve the Lord,
:18:59. > :19:04.rejoicing in the power And the blessing of God almighty,
:19:05. > :19:10.the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
:19:11. > :19:38.be amongst you and remain The Archbishop of Canterbury ending
:19:39. > :19:41.the service. Katie, what were the highlights? I was going to and to
:19:42. > :19:47.your question, it was very interesting to have other 90 air
:19:48. > :19:52.Haas? Yes, a very nice touch to have David Attenborough and Michael Bond,
:19:53. > :20:01.that familiar tone that puts everyone to use and is immediately
:20:02. > :20:05.recognisable. Other celebrations of other birthdays. There was a prayer
:20:06. > :20:11.by a member of the Royal household. Just a sense of inclusivity. The
:20:12. > :20:17.Duke of Edinburgh, who is 95, got three or four mentions. The Royal
:20:18. > :20:21.household, that was Oscar Matthew, and underfoot man. Lesley Garrett,
:20:22. > :20:25.there is an indication if it was needed but so much of royalty is
:20:26. > :20:28.about tradition, but the careful tweaks that help to stay relevant,
:20:29. > :20:33.we would not have seen that in services gone by. As you watch the
:20:34. > :20:36.performers, as somebody who has performed on countless occasions for
:20:37. > :20:41.the Royal, specifically for the Queen, are your sympathies with
:20:42. > :20:47.people who have to performed? There was a wonderful young pianist. It
:20:48. > :20:50.must be no fracking. Is is nerve wracking, but it is a bit like
:20:51. > :20:55.singing for your mum. You know she is willing you to do well and is
:20:56. > :21:00.very appreciative that you are there and giving your all. In a way, she
:21:01. > :21:06.puts you at ease, as all the Royal family is good at doing. One
:21:07. > :21:11.particular time when I sang for the Queen in seal in Korea, I was doing
:21:12. > :21:20.a Pacific Rim tour and I was asked to do to two Seoul to perform for
:21:21. > :21:27.her birthday. It was the first royal visit of the green to that country.
:21:28. > :21:31.-- to do a detour to Seoul. I tripped on with 50 Korean five roles
:21:32. > :21:38.in national dress, and it brought a tear to her eyes. -- five-year-olds.
:21:39. > :21:44.But what was impressive was that it was a five-day trade mission around
:21:45. > :21:48.her visit. I observed that she started work at eight o'clock in the
:21:49. > :21:54.morning, did not finish until 11 o'clock at night every day, and the
:21:55. > :21:59.Duke also. ?4.5 billion worth of trade went down for Britain that
:22:00. > :22:05.week. All because of her. If that wasn't Seoul, she would have been in
:22:06. > :22:07.her 70s? Mid to late 70s, very long working days, but I think she works
:22:08. > :22:09.as hard now. In yesterday's main event
:22:10. > :22:12.the military said their happy birthday to Her Majesty
:22:13. > :22:14.in the annual spectacle Let's join Huw Edwards to recall
:22:15. > :22:28.the highlights of the parade Every year on a Saturday morning in
:22:29. > :22:32.June, the sovereign's official birthday is celebrated in great
:22:33. > :22:37.style with the ceremony of Trooping the Colour. The honour of Trooping
:22:38. > :22:40.the Colour in 2016 falls to the Coldstream Guards. So stand by for a

:23:12. > :23:14.birth date arrayed at Horse Guards. Number three guard has opened up to

:25:57. > :26:07.Such a proud moment for the regimental Sergeant Major who served
:26:08. > :26:10.in Iraq and Afghanistan. He now prepares to take possession of the
:26:11. > :26:14.colour, detecting it with his sword, ready to hand it safely over to the
