The Diamond Jubilee Carriage Procession

:00:29. > :00:35.A very warm welcome back. It is the final day of the Diamond Jubilee

:00:35. > :00:45.celebrations. We are covering the day's events live on BBC One. There

:00:45. > :00:57.

:00:57. > :01:03.is lots to come. The Jubilee lunch Let's give you a sense of what is

:01:03. > :01:11.to come. There is lots of comings and goings. After that lunch, at

:01:11. > :01:15.around 2:30pm, we are expecting the Queen and the other royals to be

:01:15. > :01:17.leaving Westminster Hall, leaving Westminster Hall,

:01:17. > :01:24.encourages this time, for the procession to Buckingham Palace. By

:01:24. > :01:29.the time more of that is done, at around 3:25pm, the Queen will lead

:01:29. > :01:34.the party onto the balcony at Buckingham Palace. There will be a

:01:34. > :01:39.fly-past by the Royal Air Force, including a grand old Lancaster

:01:39. > :01:44.bomber, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, together with some

:01:44. > :01:51.more modern jets. So, plenty to come over the next couple of hours.

:01:51. > :01:55.And of course, we have our BBC presenters pretty much everywhere.

:01:55. > :02:00.We can go to Fiona Bruce now, at the Palace of Westminster, where

:02:00. > :02:06.the lunch is happening. The crowds have been waiting for hours here to

:02:06. > :02:10.see the Queen and come out. The see the Queen and come out. The

:02:10. > :02:14.procession will be making its way towards Buckingham Palace. The

:02:14. > :02:18.people are streaming towards us, to try to get the chance to see the

:02:18. > :02:28.Queen. The bells are peeling from Westminster Abbey. The bands have

:02:28. > :02:28.

:02:28. > :02:32.been entertaining the crowds as well. Are you excited? We will be

:02:32. > :02:42.back with Fiona Bruce in a short while. We mentioned the Jubilee

:02:42. > :02:43.

:02:43. > :02:49.party not just at the Palace, but also at St James's Park, hosted by

:02:49. > :02:53.Fearne and Jake. Yes, welcome back. We have got the likes of Suggs and

:02:53. > :02:57.John Barrowman, and we are hoping a couple of Olympians will also drop

:02:57. > :03:02.in to have a chat. We are also hoping the sun will put in an

:03:02. > :03:06.appearance this afternoon. Indeed. We will be back with you in

:03:06. > :03:14.a short while. The crowds are really building up on the Mall.

:03:14. > :03:20.They have come across from Westminster. Chris Hollins is there.

:03:20. > :03:25.Yes, the crowds are swelling, they have been growing for the last four

:03:25. > :03:28.or five hours. Some people have been here overnight. They are all

:03:28. > :03:37.waiting for that glimpse of the Queen. We will be catching up with

:03:37. > :03:41.a few of them later on. We were mentioning that 2012 is a

:03:41. > :03:45.very big year. Not just because of the Diamond Jubilee, there is some

:03:45. > :03:49.football going on as well, and of course, the Olympic Games. Who

:03:49. > :03:55.better to talk about these events them Dame Kelly Holmes? It is great

:03:55. > :04:04.to have you with us. It is great to be here. Did you watch the concert

:04:04. > :04:09.last night? I did. How amazing was that? For me, we have just put the

:04:09. > :04:15.Great back in Britain. The concert, it was just extraordinary. When you

:04:15. > :04:23.look at Buckingham Palace, the footage. I have to admit to being a

:04:23. > :04:29.royalist. I was welling up! Did you watch it on the television? I did,

:04:29. > :04:33.it was amazing. The line-up down the Mall. Just that sense of

:04:33. > :04:38.celebration, all of us coming together, I absolutely love it. I

:04:38. > :04:43.love seeing the Union Jacks, the young and the old together. And the

:04:43. > :04:47.Queen. And I have to pay my respect, I hope the Duke of Edinburgh will

:04:47. > :04:51.be well. But to see the Queen, I have to say, this last few days,

:04:51. > :04:56.every time I have seen the Queen, she has had this magnificent smile

:04:56. > :05:01.on her face. She was a beautiful young woman when she came to the

:05:01. > :05:06.throne, and you can see that almost showing through as she has gone a

:05:06. > :05:10.long in her days. You know something about people waving flags,

:05:10. > :05:15.given what you have achieved. Now that we're counting down, after

:05:15. > :05:21.this great day today, towards the Olympics in London, what are your

:05:21. > :05:25.thoughts? I mean, it is seven years since they declared it was coming.

:05:25. > :05:30.Now, we are right on the verge of having the Games here - what are

:05:30. > :05:39.you thinking? I really hope the momentum keeps going. We have

:05:39. > :05:47.really put our mark on the nation's, with the Jubilee as well, this year.

:05:47. > :05:53.It is just going to get bigger and better as we go along. Firstly, I

:05:53. > :06:00.think the performances in the stadium, in the swimming pool,

:06:00. > :06:03.wherever it will be, they are the things which we will remember. But

:06:03. > :06:08.also I think the celebrations, bringing together the community

:06:08. > :06:14.from around the country, that's really what will make these Games

:06:14. > :06:18.stand out. We will have millions of people supporting has come as a

:06:19. > :06:24.nation. I think what we do best is the celebratory events, the tourist

:06:24. > :06:29.industry is going to be... For us as a nation, it is really going to

:06:29. > :06:35.set a level for things to come. are you going to be approaching the

:06:35. > :06:39.Games? You're a icon, a great symbol of Olympic success, but your

:06:39. > :06:43.role will be rather different to eight years ago, so, how do you

:06:43. > :06:47.prepare for it, are you comfortable with that change? Yes, for the past

:06:47. > :06:52.seven years, it has been a big learning curve, I have learned many

:06:52. > :06:57.things, but hopefully I have also helped some of the athletes who

:06:57. > :07:02.will be competing in London 2012 as well. I will take up that mantle of

:07:02. > :07:11.cheering them on with their family. It is really nice to have you with

:07:11. > :07:20.us. Now, the party in full swing, pretty much, in St James's Park...

:07:20. > :07:24.Yes, we have got a lovely crowd here. They have all been enjoying

:07:24. > :07:34.watching the big screen. Before long, the carriage procession will

:07:34. > :07:35.

:07:35. > :07:42.be coming down the Mall. Right now, alongside us is John Barrowman.

:07:42. > :07:46.Thanks for being here. The River Pageant is one of the highlights of

:07:46. > :07:53.the Jubilee celebrations, and you got the chance to be on a boat, on

:07:53. > :07:57.the River - what an opportunity. Yes, it was amazing. I have never

:07:57. > :08:01.felt so proud of being British as on that particular day. Everybody

:08:01. > :08:04.around the world was watching. The fact that we had an opportunity to

:08:05. > :08:13.do something which probably in our lifetimes will never ever happen

:08:13. > :08:22.again. Rain, bring it on, we stood there. I was drenched, I know you

:08:22. > :08:26.were, Fearne, as well. It was the most amazing day. And I was warm

:08:27. > :08:32.and dry in front of the television! But we had never seen anything like

:08:32. > :08:37.it before. Also to be asked to do something like that, to be involved,

:08:38. > :08:44.I did a little video, and I tweeted it, I just got overwhelmed with

:08:44. > :08:47.emotion. I started bubbling a little, while I was on the barge. I

:08:47. > :08:52.don't know if you can express to everybody, even though you were

:08:52. > :08:56.watching it on television. For those of us who were there, and we

:08:56. > :08:59.were right at the front, looking back at the royal flotilla and one

:08:59. > :09:06.of the boats, it was one of the most incredibly amazing things I

:09:06. > :09:11.have ever done. I was so proud to be part of it. You have spent a lot

:09:11. > :09:16.of time in the States, where they are very patriotic - it feels like

:09:16. > :09:20.this weekend, everybody has fallen back in the love with the Union

:09:20. > :09:25.Flag, the desire to be British. Absolutely, and I think we should

:09:25. > :09:30.be proud to fly the flag, proud of being British. BBC America are

:09:30. > :09:36.showing this, as we speak, to the United States. It is going out all

:09:36. > :09:46.over the world. So, as Kelly Holmes just said, it is time to put the

:09:46. > :09:46.

:09:46. > :09:53.Great back in Great Britain. It is amazing. I did have an ear plug in

:09:53. > :09:58.my left ear yesterday. But those bells were so loud. They were loud

:09:58. > :10:05.when we were in the barge, but also, I was stood up most of the time on

:10:05. > :10:15.the side, waving to people. I thought, I have got to do this. But

:10:15. > :10:19.

:10:19. > :10:26.they were very, very loud. I think it was three or four tons of bells.

:10:26. > :10:30.Thank you very much for joining us. Last night was incredible as well.

:10:30. > :10:35.I was one of the 70 million people watching at home. There were tens

:10:35. > :10:43.of thousands more on the Mall. Only one lady got a backstage pass.

:10:43. > :10:52.There was a few of us! This is her report. Sir Tom Jones, Sir Cliff

:10:52. > :11:02.Richard, Sir Paul McCartney. Cheryl Cole! JLS... It is going to be

:11:02. > :11:09.

:11:09. > :11:14.amazing. This is the Queen's 1.3 million people applied for

:11:14. > :11:21.tickets, but with just 10,000 up for grabs, this lot are the lucky

:11:21. > :11:31.ones. Do you mind if I come and chat to you? This looks very

:11:31. > :11:32.

:11:32. > :11:39.civilised indeed. You have got champagne! I know. A chocolate cake

:11:39. > :11:46.with a little crown on it. Everything about it is just...

:11:46. > :11:56.Isn't it beautiful? How does it feel to be here today? It is

:11:56. > :12:02.

:12:02. > :12:06.awesome, we are so excited. Help yourself. No, I can't. Go on, it is

:12:06. > :12:11.the least I can do. This must be quite overwhelming, you're in the

:12:11. > :12:14.grounds of the Palace, you have got a wonderful packed lunch.

:12:14. > :12:18.cannot explain it, the feeling inside, to think that you're

:12:18. > :12:28.actually here, in the gardens, one of the they're few - it is

:12:28. > :12:40.

:12:40. > :12:44.absolutely beautiful. -- one of the know? You seem so calm and composed.

:12:44. > :12:48.What's there to worry about? don't know. A huge concert for the

:12:48. > :12:51.Queen. It's going to be amazing. I don't know if you have noticed. I

:12:51. > :12:55.know there is a huge buzz at the front, but back here, everyone's

:12:55. > :12:59.really excited to get on tonight. Also, you have been hanging around

:12:59. > :13:03.the palace. You're kind of every day at the moment. This is my

:13:03. > :13:07.workplace at the moment. It has been an amazing two years because

:13:07. > :13:11.we started planning this two years ago. The fact we're here is amazing.

:13:11. > :13:16.Good luck tonight. We're so excited. Brilliant.

:13:16. > :13:21.# Put some whiskey in your water # Sugar in your tea

:13:21. > :13:24.# What's all this crazy questions they're asking me?

:13:24. > :13:28.# This is the craziest party there could ever be

:13:28. > :13:37.# Don't turn on the lights # Cos I don't want to see

:13:37. > :13:41.# Mama told me not to come # She said - #

:13:41. > :13:46.I was here ten years ago for the Golden Jubilee. Now I am leer for

:13:46. > :13:50.the Diamond Jubilee, which is the - the ten years - I don't know what

:13:50. > :13:54.happened to that it went so quick. I hope the next ten years - I hope

:13:54. > :14:00.it doesn't go as quick as the last ten!

:14:00. > :14:06.# Smoking scares me half to death # When the Queen is there, I twitch,

:14:06. > :14:12.you know? She has that effect. # Mama told me not to come

:14:12. > :14:15.# Mama told me # She said "That ain't the way to

:14:15. > :14:20.have fun, son." # Do you feel the pressure? Do you

:14:20. > :14:27.feel the nerves? I felt fine about it, until somebody told me there

:14:27. > :14:33.was an audience of over a billion watching, then it was kind of like,

:14:33. > :14:36.oh, no pressure, then. # White lips

:14:36. > :14:38.# Pale face # Breathing in snowflakes

:14:38. > :14:42.# Burnt lungs # Sour taste #

:14:42. > :14:45.The stage looks cool. I remember watching the Golden Jubilee ten

:14:45. > :14:55.years ago. They had it in the other garden.

:14:55. > :14:55.

:14:55. > :14:59.Yeah. And Brian May was playing. It's a bit different. It's cool.

:14:59. > :15:02.Will.i.am! Continue-ton! We just spoke to Cheryl, who said she had

:15:03. > :15:08.been hanging around you today and that you were very excited about

:15:08. > :15:13.this huge British celebration today. I was really excited. I am still

:15:13. > :15:15.excited - a bit emotional, thrilled, blessed, honoured, humbled.

:15:15. > :15:20.# Here we come # Here we go.

:15:20. > :15:25.# We got to rock-rock-rock-rock # Easy come, easy go

:15:25. > :15:29.# Now we're on top-top-top-top # Body shock

:15:29. > :15:34.# Rocking no stop # I got a feeling

:15:34. > :15:40.# Ooh - ooh # It's so nice, everyone coming here.

:15:40. > :15:45.It is so nice. It didn't hit me how big it was until I was on stage.

:15:45. > :15:49.# Tonight is going to be a good, good night

:15:49. > :15:55.# And if you love me - # Do you know the Queen is a fan of

:15:55. > :16:01.the Black Eyed Peas? No, I didn't know. William and Harry definitely.

:16:01. > :16:07.They get down. I want to hang out with those dudes.

:16:07. > :16:11.# Say hell yeah! # Have you met the Queen before? I have years ago.

:16:11. > :16:17.Will you meet her tonight? I hope so. Will you practising your

:16:17. > :16:25.curtsey? I have been practising all day!

:16:25. > :16:30.# It's a quarter to 1.00 # And I need you now

:16:30. > :16:37.# Said I would cope # But I lost all control, and I

:16:37. > :16:41.need you now # This is fourth person I have spoken

:16:41. > :16:51.to today. There is a lot of us around, and there is a few Dames as

:16:51. > :16:52.

:16:52. > :16:59.well! # You'll never know what it is like

:16:59. > :17:07.# It's like ice # You wind up behind the - #

:17:07. > :17:12.Great day, huh? The line-up is brilliant. There is some pop music,

:17:12. > :17:16.a lot of SirS. Richard Gary came over to see me. I said, "Who else

:17:16. > :17:20.is on the bill?" He started naming quite a diverse group of people. I

:17:20. > :17:30.thought it was a good idea to get something in for the young kids,

:17:30. > :17:52.

:17:52. > :17:58.something in for the old kids. Oh, it was such a wonderful evening.

:17:58. > :18:04.Amazing. It really was. We're now joined by one of last night's

:18:04. > :18:07.performance, Sgugs from Madness. How are you? I am good, a little

:18:07. > :18:11.bit rough around the edges, but it was an emotional night. It was

:18:11. > :18:15.incredible what you guys did. You were at the top of Buckingham

:18:15. > :18:22.Palace performing to so many people out there with fireworks. How did

:18:22. > :18:27.it feel? It was amazing. We rehearsed Saturday, and it was

:18:27. > :18:32.amazing to get to see the panoply of London's skyline. It was empty

:18:32. > :18:40.when we rehearsed, but then to see the Mall and all the people...

:18:40. > :18:43.you can see it properly, and I have to say the graphics on top of the

:18:43. > :18:48.palace just enhanced the performance. That's it. We weren't

:18:48. > :18:52.just a backing band! Not at all! The guys with the graphics said to

:18:52. > :18:57.me, "Do you like the idea of me turning Buckingham Palace into a

:18:57. > :19:02.block of flats?" I said the only time I had a view like that is when

:19:02. > :19:07.I lived in the flats I lived in as a kid. Did you have slight vertigo

:19:07. > :19:11.up there? I do suffer from vertigo, actually, but I was so excited, I

:19:11. > :19:16.was a bit away with the fairies. I kept having to remember I was up

:19:16. > :19:22.there to do something, not just enjoy myself - sing the song, for

:19:22. > :19:27.instance. I wasn't too bothered about the vertigo, no. It's 2.00pm.

:19:27. > :19:32.You still have the sunglasses on. How was the party? Those eyes look

:19:32. > :19:36.OK. It's not too bad - kind of bright we did stay up for a time

:19:36. > :19:41.watching the news clips. And how was the party at the palace? It was

:19:41. > :19:45.extraordinary, and there were so many Princes, Harry and Edward and

:19:45. > :19:52.Andrew and the other one - William. Funnily enough, our keyboard player

:19:52. > :19:57.got a bit overwhelmed. Paul Chowdhry came -- Paul McCartney

:19:57. > :20:02.came over to him and said hello, and he was like, what are we doing

:20:02. > :20:06.here, Madness?! All of this encouragement we have been

:20:06. > :20:12.receiving from the public among Queen and the parties, we're doing

:20:12. > :20:17.a tour in November. We're starting at Butlins and ending up at the O2

:20:17. > :20:20.in December. It will be novel to be back on stage instead of on top of

:20:20. > :20:24.a building. Well done. Congratulations.

:20:24. > :20:30.Yes. Well done. If you have just joined us, welcome to the last day

:20:30. > :20:34.of the Diamond Jubilee weekend here In 20 minutes, that lunch at the

:20:34. > :20:38.Palace of Westminster will end, and the Queen will leave in a carriage

:20:38. > :20:42.procession and come back here - Parliament Square, Whitehall,

:20:42. > :20:45.Trafalgar Square. This is the route for you. They'll be leaving

:20:45. > :20:49.Westminster Hall. They'll be travelling up Whitehall past the

:20:49. > :20:57.Cenotaph and up to Trafalgar Square, and then it's a left-hand turn

:20:57. > :21:01.through Admiralty Arch and along the Mall and just passing Saint

:21:01. > :21:06.James' Park there towards the Queen Victoria Memorial where the concert

:21:06. > :21:08.took place last night towards the central gates and into the palace

:21:08. > :21:14.before the appearance on the balcony in a short while. Coming up

:21:14. > :21:19.in the next hour, we'll be joined by more special guests. We'll have

:21:19. > :21:25.Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Terry Wogan, Andrew Bunton, Ronny Corbett, the

:21:25. > :21:28.list goes on. We'll also be talking to David Cameron and one of his

:21:28. > :21:35.predecessors, Sir John Major. Before that, the chance to take

:21:35. > :21:39.stock a about the day so far with our Royal correspondent Nicholas

:21:39. > :21:42.Witchell. The morning service, what did you make of it? For the Queen I

:21:42. > :21:51.am sure it's one of the major features of the weekend. We know

:21:51. > :21:54.how important her faith is to her. I think she looked very relaxed -

:21:54. > :21:58.as relaxed as you can be in a service of that kind. The news

:21:58. > :22:03.about her husband must be reassuring. We haven't been getting

:22:03. > :22:07.any details by Buckingham Palace, but as we were reporting last night,

:22:07. > :22:10.there was no concern about his health as there was six months ago.

:22:10. > :22:13.I think he'll emerge from the hospital and rejoin the Queen for

:22:13. > :22:19.the rest of the Jubilee programme. The members of the Royal Family

:22:19. > :22:22.were looking relaxed. I think the Queen, as she always does, was

:22:22. > :22:27.paying close attention to the sermon by the Archbishop of

:22:27. > :22:32.Canterbury, a trenchant sermon, looking at it from a theological

:22:32. > :22:38.perspective, trenchant remarks about financial greed and other

:22:38. > :22:43.remarks. The Queen listening very, very carefully. They had rearranged

:22:44. > :22:47.the seating, moved her back so she was sitting with her family instead

:22:47. > :22:52.of alongside her husband. There was an important component I think will

:22:52. > :22:57.have mattered for her. Now fingered crossed once again for the weather.

:22:57. > :22:59.Those carriages could be closed, but I can't imagine it would be

:22:59. > :23:04.closed unless it was absolutely pouring down, and I think we'll see

:23:04. > :23:08.the Queen in a carriage with the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of

:23:08. > :23:11.Cornwall, so a another rearrangement in view of the

:23:11. > :23:14.absence of the Duke of Edinburgh. You have travelled a lot in the

:23:14. > :23:16.last few months as part of the celebration. What has been the

:23:16. > :23:21.impact on the country, do you think? It's interesting. I think

:23:21. > :23:25.that this Jubilee has a bigger and more spectacular feel than ten

:23:25. > :23:29.years ago with the Golden Jubilee. Let's face it - many of the

:23:29. > :23:32.sentiments that are being expressed now were expressed ten years ago.

:23:32. > :23:35.We were all here seeing the Golden Jubilee. I think there is an

:23:35. > :23:40.important difference. It is this: the family is more united now.

:23:40. > :23:43.They're ten years older now. They have had the addition of one new

:23:43. > :23:47.significant face within the woifl. I think they're more together. I

:23:47. > :23:50.think they're more at ease amongst themselves and with the country. I

:23:50. > :23:54.think Prince Charles is far more at ease than he was ten years ago. I

:23:54. > :23:59.think the Queen is now much more at ease with herself, more relaxed,

:23:59. > :24:03.and it is showing, so despite the difficulties, despite the downpours

:24:04. > :24:06.Sunday, despite the absence of the Duke of Edinburgh for half of this

:24:06. > :24:10.weekend, in a funny way I think it's building up and will be

:24:10. > :24:17.remembered - and we'll have to wait to see what she says in her

:24:17. > :24:21.broadcast at 6.00pm this evening in her Jubilee when she thanks people,

:24:21. > :24:25.that it will have been a success. Thank you. We have been talking to

:24:25. > :24:31.lots of people giving us their thoughts on what has been going on

:24:31. > :24:37.around this Jubilee. Here's some more voices.

:24:37. > :24:40.We are Diversity, and we met the Queen at the 2009 Royal Variety

:24:40. > :24:46.Performance. The idea is we were soldiers designed to protect the

:24:46. > :24:53.Queen and our kind of powers - or our dance skills is how we showed

:24:53. > :24:59.that off. When they sat us down and told us about the etiquette of

:24:59. > :25:03."ma'am" and "jam" and all of this... It went in one ear and out and

:25:03. > :25:07.crumbled. I don't think I said one word when I met her. I think it's

:25:07. > :25:12.the first time the Queen has ever seen a street dance performance. I

:25:12. > :25:15.hope it made a good impression. gave us the confidence that if we

:25:15. > :25:19.can do a show like that we could really go forward in our careers

:25:19. > :25:24.and make our mark on the world of entertainment. A magnificent scene,

:25:24. > :25:28.the Household Cavalry waiting. The Sovereign's Escort patiently

:25:28. > :25:34.waiting for the lunch in Westminster Hall to come to an end,

:25:34. > :25:39.a lunch involving some 700 people - the City Livery Companies, and the

:25:39. > :25:44.Blues and Royals and the lifeguards smartly turned out waiting for the

:25:44. > :25:47.Queen to emerge, and then they'll escort the Royal carriages back to

:25:47. > :25:53.Whitehall and over to Buckingham Palace. That's coming up in just a

:25:53. > :26:01.few minutes, and with me to chat about the weekend and - we were all

:26:01. > :26:04.oohing and awing over the scene there - Ronnie Corbett, Emma Bunton,

:26:04. > :26:08.thank you for being with us. Last weekend's concert, what did you

:26:08. > :26:12.make of it? It was incredible. There were some amazing stars. I

:26:12. > :26:14.was lucky enough to be in the Golden Jubilee. We were in the back

:26:14. > :26:17.garden, but this of course was taking part in the front. It was

:26:17. > :26:21.amazing to watch on the telly, but the whole coverage for me has been

:26:21. > :26:24.so wonderful, and also, London has looked so beautiful even with the

:26:24. > :26:28.rain, but this whole backdrop - it's been incredible to watch at

:26:28. > :26:33.home, and I have been to street parties and I have had my own

:26:33. > :26:36.little party at home, my own barbecue. I just love the fact we

:26:36. > :26:43.come together at this time. remember ten years ago you were on

:26:43. > :26:47.one of those big floats. That's right, with the famous champ...

:26:47. > :26:52.Whatever his name was! Yes, we came down here on the float, that's

:26:52. > :26:55.right. And I also - because the picnic went on behind Buckingham

:26:55. > :27:00.Palace... Yes. Remember, with the children? And I played the Queen's

:27:00. > :27:05.butler, so I was actually on the premises. Amazing And walked on the

:27:05. > :27:11.stage with her, so I was quite thrilled. What have you made of the

:27:11. > :27:18.weekend's events? Have you enjoyed it? Unbelievable, really wonderful,

:27:18. > :27:25.so spectacularly lovely, and she and the Duke - I mean, showing

:27:25. > :27:29.immense patience and - for their age. Sunday. Yes, hanging on to it.

:27:29. > :27:32.I loved Sunday. Emma, from your point of view - we were just about

:27:32. > :27:37.to see what was going on in that lunch, but just your thoughts on

:27:37. > :27:40.what has been achieved this weekend. How special has it been? It has

:27:40. > :27:46.been so special! And on Sunday, when you were just talking about

:27:46. > :27:49.when she was on the bam, it was so lovely when you saw her space like

:27:49. > :27:55.when you saw the war horse on top of the National Theatre, her face

:27:55. > :28:00.just lit up. I think it has been absolutely amazing. Let's go back

:28:00. > :28:05.to Westminster Hall. Your Royal highnesses, my Lords, ladies and

:28:05. > :28:15.gentlemen, pray silence for the Lord Speaker, the Right honourable

:28:15. > :28:15.

:28:15. > :29:14.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds

:29:14. > :29:17.Your Royal Highnesses, my Lords, The anthem plained by the National

:29:17. > :29:22.Children's Orchestra of Great Britain.

:29:22. > :29:26.-- played. The Duke of Cambridge surveying the scene there. The

:29:26. > :29:30.lunch is just coming to an end. The formal toast has been made, so

:29:30. > :29:33.within a few minutes I think we can expect to see the royal party

:29:33. > :29:38.preparing to leave Westminster Hall. There'll be a few minutes' delay

:29:38. > :29:42.before that happens and then they will emerge from the North Door,

:29:42. > :29:45.including the Duchess of Cambridge, and they'll take their places in

:29:45. > :29:50.the carriage procession to return to Buckingham Palace. The Prince of

:29:50. > :29:54.Wales is enjoying a chat there with the hosts at his table. All of

:29:54. > :29:57.these hosts are senior members of livery companies in the City, who

:29:57. > :30:01.do so much work for charities around the year. Lots of the guests

:30:01. > :30:05.are young people who are people who've either benefited from the

:30:05. > :30:14.charitable work that goes on or people who are associated with the

:30:14. > :30:20.work. The Queen now is ready to leave Westminster Hall after lunch.

:30:20. > :30:26.The wand of the Marquis of Cholmondley, the Lord Great

:30:26. > :30:30.Chamberlain. He is in charge of the Palace of Westminster, principally

:30:30. > :30:40.the Robing Room, but Westminster Hall is under the joint

:30:40. > :30:46.

:30:46. > :30:50.jurisdiction of several officers in Other members too are preparing to

:30:50. > :30:57.leave. Final arrangements to be made there. Ronnie Corbett and Emma

:30:57. > :31:02.Bunton are still with me. It's a splendid scene isn't it, and all of

:31:02. > :31:05.it is taking place within Westminster Hall, a myrrh sent

:31:05. > :31:15.building. And everybody is doing their job so well, all moving at

:31:15. > :31:20.the right time. Moving like clockwork. And the catering is by

:31:21. > :31:26.Heston Blumenthal I think. People leaving the concert last

:31:27. > :31:32.night were clutching their picnics very tightly. Very delicious.

:31:32. > :31:36.didn't want to leave any of it behind. They were hanging on to

:31:36. > :31:39.those baskets for a long time. Just celebrating this weekend is

:31:39. > :31:44.something that lots of people enjoy doing and lots of people are taking

:31:44. > :31:48.advantage of the fact that we are on an extended bank holiday, two

:31:48. > :31:51.bank holidays to add on to the weekend. It is at a time when

:31:51. > :31:55.Prince Charles said last night the economy is in a tough state. That's

:31:55. > :31:58.right. Lots of people are suffering, lots of people are out of work and

:31:58. > :32:04.people think this is a good thing to do to cheer people up, would you

:32:04. > :32:10.agree with that? I would agree, yes. People cared very deeply this

:32:10. > :32:14.weekend. Absolutely. More than the last time. One of the great things,

:32:14. > :32:17.Emma, last night was when we saw the concert, you got a real sense,

:32:17. > :32:22.not just the fireworks and the great artists that were involved,

:32:22. > :32:28.and you know all about it from 2002. The amount of work that goes into a

:32:28. > :32:33.concert like that. Unbelievable. is astonishing. The people work so

:32:33. > :32:38.hard, and Gary Barlow, who put so much into the show. He e-mailed so

:32:38. > :32:41.many people to come and join. It was amazing to watch. And I love

:32:41. > :32:45.the traditions. I loved the lighting of the beacon last night.

:32:45. > :32:52.That was so important, so special. It's been really magnificent. I

:32:52. > :32:59.love the traditions. I love the street parties. I love the bunting.

:32:59. > :33:05.Naturally you love the bunting, you being a Bunton. Seems like a good

:33:05. > :33:08.moment to say thank you both very much. Thank you. Lovely to see you.

:33:08. > :33:14.Thank you. Back to the Palace of Westminster to see what's going on

:33:14. > :33:20.there. We can update... Ah, that's a great sight, the Yeomen of the

:33:20. > :33:27.Guard, who are one of the oldest royal bodyguards, formed by Henry

:33:27. > :33:31.VII, after the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. They were put together to

:33:31. > :33:35.help the King protect himself, because Henry VII was a King who

:33:35. > :33:41.needed a lot of protection at that time. The yoement of the guard are

:33:41. > :33:46.in place and we often see them at times like this, as they are there

:33:46. > :33:50.to form a guard of honour for the Queen. This is the scene outside

:33:50. > :33:56.Westminster half. The kind of carriage that we've come to expect.

:33:56. > :34:00.The carriage procession will make its way out of New Palace Yard into

:34:00. > :34:04.Parliament Square, and then along Whitehall, in a scene that lots of

:34:04. > :34:08.people who've been queuing all day will be delighted to see. Although

:34:08. > :34:12.the cars were impressive, the cars and the carriages and horses are

:34:12. > :34:22.what it is all about. That's at the heart of the tradition of these

:34:22. > :34:23.

:34:23. > :34:26.great proessential events. -- processional events. The 1902

:34:26. > :34:30.great State Landau is going to be the one used by the Queen and

:34:30. > :34:37.probably by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall too. We'll

:34:37. > :34:44.have to see how they configure these today. The 1902 is a grand

:34:45. > :34:49.carriage. It was made for Ed ward VII for his Coronation in 1902. But

:34:49. > :34:53.when that Coronation happened Edward VII had been suffering from

:34:53. > :34:58.ill health and they scaled down the organisation of that Coronation, so

:34:58. > :35:07.the carriage wasn't used until later in that year, 1902. The

:35:07. > :35:13.carriage is still in perfect working order today.

:35:14. > :35:19.One of the great sights of these days, these traditional ceremonies

:35:19. > :35:23.that we have, Mounted Bands of the Household Cavalry. They are well on

:35:24. > :35:28.their way down The Mall, because they are making their way towards

:35:28. > :35:31.Buckingham Palace right now and entertaining the crowds as they go.

:35:31. > :35:35.But really fulfilling an important function. The drum horses there,

:35:35. > :35:41.great favourites among the crowd, the function being to announce that

:35:41. > :35:46.the sovereign will soon be on her way.

:35:46. > :35:52.And with me is the esteemed royal commentator and best-selling author,

:35:52. > :35:58.and a man who writes for the Daily Mail, Robert hardman. Nice to see

:35:58. > :36:03.you again. Where have you been? Paul's Cathedral. What did you make

:36:03. > :36:06.of it? Faith is incredibly important to the Queen, but the

:36:06. > :36:10.human touches, the way they changed things around to accommodate the

:36:10. > :36:13.fact the Duke wasn't there. And first class music. Music has been

:36:13. > :36:18.one of the great themes of this Jubilee, fantastic river on the

:36:18. > :36:22.river and last night, and more of it on The Mall in a few minutes.

:36:23. > :36:27.you think there's been a sense in which, we talked earlier about a

:36:27. > :36:33.rebranding or the re-emergence of a new profile of the monarchy over

:36:33. > :36:36.this weekend. Is it saying too much to say that? I think it's been on

:36:36. > :36:39.an upward trajectory since the Golden Jubilee. Certainly in the

:36:39. > :36:43.last year or two it's been marvellous. The wedding last year,

:36:43. > :36:46.the visit to Ireland, everything has been going in the right

:36:46. > :36:52.direction. And through it all the Queen herself hasn't changed one

:36:52. > :36:57.bit. She's stuck, she is very much the same person we saw in 1952, but

:36:57. > :37:04.she's been open to innovation and the institution she runs has come

:37:04. > :37:10.along in leaps and bounds under her watch. The Director of Music is

:37:10. > :37:17.riding Aerial. I must give you the details of the drum horses.

:37:17. > :37:21.Achilles and Mercury today. Lance Corporal Paul Darcy and Lance

:37:21. > :37:28.Corporal Paul Kent are riding the drum horses with the enormous

:37:28. > :37:32.kettle drums and the distinctive sound that they make. They'll be

:37:32. > :37:35.busy at work in a few weeks' time at the Queen's birthday parade of

:37:35. > :37:45.course as well, where they are one course as well, where they are one

:37:45. > :37:47.

:37:47. > :37:57.of the prime features of Trooping the Colour.

:37:57. > :37:57.

:37:57. > :39:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds

:39:28. > :39:31.The fanfare signals that the Queen his white wand of office.

:39:31. > :39:36.He accompanys the Queen to the North Door of Westminster Hall.

:39:36. > :39:42.This is where the traditional carriage procession will begin.

:39:42. > :39:47.Black Rod on the left there. He is in charge of security and so much

:39:47. > :39:51.of the management of the House of Lords and is responsible for many

:39:51. > :39:56.events in whole ham. He was one of the prime organisers of today's

:39:56. > :40:04.lunch. He is also a Governor of the National Children's Orchestra, who

:40:04. > :40:10.are playing today. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess

:40:10. > :40:14.of Cornwall will accompany the Queen in the 1902 State Landau.

:40:14. > :40:18.Robert Hardman is still with me. That's what they have done to

:40:18. > :40:23.rearrange this procession? That's right. We've lost one of the

:40:23. > :40:27.originally three open carriages, the three landaus. We are now going

:40:27. > :40:33.to see two. Very neatly done. Obviously it would've been poignant

:40:33. > :40:38.but rather unkind to expect the Queen to travel on her own. And

:40:38. > :40:42.here again we see what we've seen lot in the Jubilee, the generations

:40:42. > :40:48.mixing it up. It is much of a team event. At the Golden Jubilee it was

:40:48. > :40:54.just the Queen and the Duke coming down The Mall in an open-top Range

:40:54. > :40:58.Rover, greeting the procession. Here we see all the family together.

:40:58. > :41:00.Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, she travelled with her daughter and

:41:00. > :41:10.daughter-in-law law. There are many echoes I think of that moment here

:41:10. > :41:10.

:41:11. > :41:19.today as we see this. We are still enjoying dry weather

:41:19. > :41:23.as the trumpeters of the Household Cavalry signal that the Queen is on

:41:23. > :41:33.her way and that the Sovereign's Escort too is ready.

:41:33. > :41:40.CHEERING Two horses pulling the Queen's

:41:40. > :41:48.landau called Storm and Cloud. I theep that isn't an omen! This is -

:41:48. > :41:51.- I hope that that isn't an omen! This is what the crowd are waiting

:41:51. > :41:58.for. The river on Sunday was very much a charms II affair, the

:41:58. > :42:03.concert last night a 21st century affair, but this is timeless, the

:42:03. > :42:08.pageantry. This is what we saw at the Royal Wedding last year and on

:42:08. > :42:12.great occasions. We can see rain drops but the Queen is unperturbed.

:42:12. > :42:19.There was a back-up to put her in the Australian State Coach, the

:42:19. > :42:29.only one with central heating, but she said no thaw, it -- no thank

:42:29. > :42:30.

:42:30. > :42:34.you, it may rain a bit but the people need to see me.

:42:34. > :42:39.There are first and second divisions of the Sovereign's Escort

:42:39. > :42:49.leading the way. The Queen's carriage passing the Cenotaph,

:42:49. > :42:49.

:42:49. > :43:39.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds

:43:39. > :43:45.and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince The Escort Commander, we caught a

:43:45. > :43:49.glimpse of him there of the Lifeguards.

:43:49. > :43:53.And there we can see the Field Officer of the Escort, Lieutenant

:43:53. > :44:03.Colonel Dan Hughes, we heard from him a while ago of the Blues and

:44:03. > :44:16.

:44:16. > :44:26.Four divisions of the Household Cavalry, consisting of 116 men,

:44:26. > :44:35.

:44:35. > :44:39.part of the Sovereign's Escort There we have a real sense of the

:44:39. > :44:42.procession itself and there we can see the blocks of the Sovereign's

:44:43. > :44:47.Escort, if you like, the great divisions. The first, second, third

:44:47. > :44:50.and fourth divisions of the Sovereign's Escort. On Horse Guards

:44:50. > :45:00.Parade the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery with their special

:45:00. > :45:02.

:45:02. > :45:09.The Scarlett main dressings there, which have have made especially for

:45:09. > :45:13.the Diamond Jubilee. As we come down Whitehall we will

:45:13. > :45:17.see all the street liners there represent the three services from

:45:17. > :45:21.the Royal Navy, Army and airforce, it's when we turn to the Mall and

:45:21. > :45:27.head for home we see the streets there are going to be lined

:45:27. > :45:31.entirely by Foot Guards from the Household Division. There we see an

:45:31. > :45:41.Officer of the RAF and the Army. They'll be pleased to see some of

:45:41. > :45:49.

:45:49. > :45:56.The route is somewhat longer than traditional for these things,

:45:56. > :46:02.because we are going around Trafalgar Square, a place full of

:46:02. > :46:07.Commonwealth reasonances with South Africa House and Canada House and

:46:07. > :46:12.going past the headquarters of the Commonwealth at Malborough House.

:46:12. > :46:16.This has been a big event, not just in Britain but all the 16 realms

:46:16. > :46:26.around the world which have the Queen as their head of state, from

:46:26. > :46:29.Canada and Australia, they've all taken a major role in this. Many

:46:29. > :46:37.have sent their Prime Ministers and we might all be back to work

:46:37. > :46:42.tomorrow, so is the Queen, she is having lunch with all 54 nations at

:46:42. > :46:52.Marlborough House. What a great view, Admiralty Arch. There you can

:46:52. > :46:55.

:46:55. > :47:02.The crowds around Admiralty Arch. This was the vision really of

:47:02. > :47:09.Edward VII. He didn't live to see it completed.

:47:09. > :47:15.It was George V who presided over the opening of this new imperial

:47:15. > :47:22.avenue. All of it laid out as a memorial to

:47:22. > :47:27.Queen Victoria. The Queen is about to go past the

:47:27. > :47:33.memorial statue of her dear late father and the memorial she

:47:33. > :47:39.recently unveiled to the Queen Mother, coming up on the right.

:47:39. > :47:49.A poignant moment. This is a very happy day, lots of happy memories

:47:49. > :48:02.

:48:02. > :48:12.of all these landmarks she's about Down past Clarence House and

:48:12. > :48:30.

:48:30. > :48:35.The Blues and Royals and their dark navy tunics.

:48:35. > :48:41.In 1897 there were 50,000 troops on the streets for the Queen

:48:41. > :48:44.Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, today there is about 160. And just over

:48:44. > :48:48.1,000 members of the other armed forces but it's still a great

:48:48. > :48:58.spectacle. It's not all about imperial clout today. It's about

:48:58. > :49:05.

:49:05. > :49:08.spectacle. But that's one of the John Nelson. The head coachman Mark

:49:08. > :49:18.Hargreaves today. Both of them very experienced, and they'll be working

:49:18. > :49:27.

:49:27. > :49:37.again for the Queen's birthday I think the crowds are larger here

:49:37. > :49:43.than they were for the Royal wedding. 20, 30-deep in places.

:49:43. > :49:47.Royal Standard, a sense of its size and how impressive that is. They

:49:47. > :49:53.have standards in different sizes but you can rest assured they

:49:53. > :49:57.really pulled out the best one in the drawer. And that's the view

:49:57. > :50:01.from within St James' Park. You are right, that gives a sense of the

:50:01. > :50:06.depth of the crowd. It's worth remembering it was the

:50:06. > :50:11.scenes on the last day of the Golden Jubilee which formed the

:50:11. > :50:15.backbone of the bid video London took when it was bidding for the

:50:15. > :50:19.Olympics, the scenes of the Golden Jubilee is when Lord Coe and his

:50:19. > :50:23.team said to the International Olympic Committee look how we put

:50:23. > :50:26.on a party. That's really what helped win London the Olympics. I

:50:26. > :50:30.think there will be many reasonances of that. We are going

:50:30. > :50:36.to see that over again shortly when they open up the roads and crowds

:50:36. > :50:46.come pouring down. We are in for some of the great sights of 2012 in

:50:46. > :50:54.

:50:54. > :51:02.It was a very nice speech last night. It hit the right note, I

:51:02. > :51:06.think. There was due formality, and then mummy. A dig at some of the

:51:06. > :51:09.comedians who had been having a pop at the Royal Family early on. One

:51:09. > :51:13.of the most touching moments, it's often the unscripted things we

:51:13. > :51:19.remember from these great occasions, but as he expressed his good wishes

:51:19. > :51:22.for the Duke of Edinburgh and suddenly you heard the crowd

:51:22. > :51:26.chanting "Philip, Philip", I never heard anyone chanting like that

:51:26. > :51:31.before and this morning as the Queen arrived at St Paul's, you

:51:31. > :51:36.could hear this chant of "God Save the Queen", you don't get that sort

:51:36. > :51:41.of chanting at Royal events. But these last few days have definitely

:51:41. > :51:45.triggered something and it doesn't really matter there is perceived

:51:45. > :51:50.setbacks, whether it's the weather or illness, they've all in a sense

:51:50. > :51:55.helped to elevate the affection for the Queen even more. They have a

:51:55. > :51:59.sense of she will just carry on regardless, whatever adversity

:51:59. > :52:09.throws at her and here, as she heads for home, look at the smile

:52:09. > :52:14.Into the arena, where last night's concert took place and the stands

:52:14. > :52:20.are still here and thousands of people in them. It's tailor-made

:52:20. > :52:23.for a grand finale. It's a brilliant set. I think it's six

:52:23. > :52:27.Royal Festival Halls on one one site, it's an enormous logistical

:52:27. > :52:31.operation and it's great. It does allow lots more people to see it

:52:31. > :52:41.than normally would. This is where we get a bird's eye view from the

:52:41. > :52:44.

:52:44. > :52:52.There we are. You get a real sense of the colour,

:52:52. > :53:02.the sweep, we just saw the Sovereign Standard of the

:53:02. > :53:38.

:53:38. > :53:43.Lifeguards. A very nice shot of some of the

:53:43. > :53:46.coachmen, wearing the state livery, some are so precious they have to

:53:46. > :53:56.actually find a coachman that will fit the uniform, rather than the

:53:56. > :53:58.

:53:58. > :54:01.There you see the contrast, this is the soft yellow bath stone of the

:54:01. > :54:05.old Palace, as opposed to the hard white stone of the front. It's a

:54:05. > :54:15.contrast. It is. There is a contrast on the inside, one half

:54:15. > :54:24.

:54:24. > :54:30.has just been cleaned and that side This is where the Queen and the

:54:30. > :54:34.other members of the Royal Family will settle down inside the Palace

:54:34. > :54:39.for a while, before they then appear on the balcony. That will be

:54:39. > :54:44.one of the iconic moments of this Jubilee. It absolutely will. Not

:54:44. > :54:49.only the Battle of Britain Flight and the Irish Guards down below

:54:49. > :54:56.attempting a great feat of arms, a feu de joie, ripple of gunfire

:54:57. > :55:01.which is difficult to do. It's a technique which was pinched off

:55:01. > :55:04.Napoleonic troops and was perfected for the Queen's 80th birth Kay and

:55:04. > :55:08.-- birthday and she loved it then, I think it's one of the reasons

:55:08. > :55:12.they've decided to do it again today. There is the Colonel of the

:55:12. > :55:22.Irish Guards, the Duke of Cambridge who wore their uniform on his

:55:22. > :55:30.

:55:30. > :55:36.That is a presentation of a posy by tpeup tpeup -- Philipa Jackson who

:55:36. > :55:39.would have been in a third carriage if there had been one today. A

:55:39. > :55:49.tradition, and it's left in the carriage for the Queen on certain

:55:49. > :55:54.

:55:54. > :56:00.events but presented here today There we see the guard of honour, a

:56:00. > :56:03.large guard of honour today. Robert has told us it's the 1st Battalion

:56:03. > :56:11.Irish Guards and with the band of the regiment and pipes and drums

:56:11. > :56:15.and they're ready for the ceremon ceremonial events that are to come.

:56:15. > :56:18.And Robert is still with me. I am wondering before we have a flavour

:56:18. > :56:24.of what's going on in the Mall, we will do that in a second, because

:56:24. > :56:29.as you say the crowds are building, when they appear on the balcony

:56:29. > :56:33.there behind us, a sense of what that image will mean. I think to

:56:33. > :56:38.the Queen it will mean, well, apart from the fact it will mean this is

:56:38. > :56:42.the climax t will mean I really can reflect on these four days. I can

:56:42. > :56:49.reflect on the fact this has gone probably far better than anyone

:56:50. > :56:53.expected. With the obvious exception, the Duke missing the

:56:53. > :56:56.final part of celebrations. Whatever the fate has thrown at

:56:56. > :57:02.these events, none of it has dampened it and the Queen has

:57:02. > :57:07.genuinely loved every minute of it. There are experts on Queen smiles

:57:07. > :57:11.can detect different levels and we have seen some absolutely genuine

:57:11. > :57:15.smiles today. I think when she looks down the full length of the

:57:15. > :57:19.Mall and sees those crowds, hundreds of thousands, I don't know

:57:19. > :57:23.how many are in the streets? Let's get a sense, we will join Chris

:57:23. > :57:28.Hollins there for us. Thank you very much, Huw. We see

:57:28. > :57:34.the crowds behind us here. They've been waiting very, very patiently

:57:34. > :57:40.all morning. They managed to see the Queen. Was it worth the wait to

:57:40. > :57:50.see the Queen? Yes. Fantastic. You gave her a good wave. At what time

:57:50. > :57:56.did you get here? 1.00 yesterday. And was it worth it? Absolutely

:57:56. > :58:00.worth it. Every minute. Seeing you was the best bit. Thank you very

:58:00. > :58:04.much. Flattery will get you everywhere. You get a real global

:58:04. > :58:10.feel about the audience today. People have come from everywhere,

:58:10. > :58:14.United States, people from Columbia, Russia. They all want to be part of

:58:14. > :58:20.this enormous pageantry. You can see the the fun and excitement on

:58:20. > :58:24.their faces. Chris, thank you very much.

:58:24. > :58:27.More to come, of course. That fly- past and the balcony appearance. We

:58:27. > :58:30.will be back with Chris in a while. We will also be hearing from the

:58:30. > :58:33.Prime Minister, we saw the Prime Minister and his wife at St Paul's

:58:33. > :58:38.this morning. We will be talking to the Prime Minister in a few minutes.

:58:38. > :58:42.We also received a tribute, which is a tribute that's been delivered

:58:42. > :58:47.for the Queen from the White House. This is what the President had to

:58:47. > :58:52.Majesty, on the historic occasion of your Diamond Jubilee Michelle

:58:52. > :58:55.and I send you and all the British people and members of the

:58:55. > :58:59.Commonwealth the heart-felt congratulations of the American

:58:59. > :59:02.people War and in peace, in times of plenty and in times of hardship,

:59:02. > :59:08.the United States and the United Kingdom have shared a special

:59:08. > :59:14.relationship. We've stood tall and strong and together we faced some

:59:14. > :59:19.of the greatest challenges this world has known. While many

:59:19. > :59:25.presidents and Prime Ministers have come and gone, Your Majesty's reign

:59:25. > :59:29.has endired. As I said last year at Buckingham Palace that makes Your

:59:29. > :59:34.Majesty a witness to the alliance and a chief source of its

:59:35. > :59:40.resilience. As a steadfast ally, loyal friend and tireless leader.

:59:40. > :59:45.Your Majesty has said an example of resolve that will long be

:59:45. > :59:48.celebrated. As we work together to provide a better future for the

:59:48. > :59:52.next generation it is gratifying to know that the bonds between our

:59:52. > :59:56.nations are indispensable, to our two countries and to the world

:59:56. > :00:00.Honour of your 60 extraordinary years on the throne, communities

:00:00. > :00:06.across the Commonwealth have lit thousands of Jubilee beacons. And

:00:06. > :00:09.may the light of ormajesty's crown continue to reign supreme for many

:00:09. > :00:14.years to come. The Diamond Jubilee tribute paid by President Obama.

:00:14. > :00:18.That came in from Washington just a short while ago. To recap, we will

:00:18. > :00:23.be talking to Prime Minister David Cameron in a short while. That's in

:00:23. > :00:27.Downing Street. Fiona Bruce will be talking to Mr Cameron. Back to St

:00:27. > :00:31.James's Park, because a real sense of the crowds building there too as

:00:31. > :00:37.we approach the climax of the day here. Back to our friends in St

:00:37. > :00:42.James's Park. Thank you Huw. Moments ago the

:00:42. > :00:46.royal carriage passed us here. Ladies, did you see the Queen go

:00:46. > :00:55.past? Sort of. We saw the top of the carriage. How long have you

:00:55. > :01:01.been here in St James's Park today? 7.30. We were the first people. Who

:01:01. > :01:09.came with you? My mum and her mum. Who did your face painting? My mum.

:01:09. > :01:15.She's done a lovely job. Would you like a royal biscuit? Sure!

:01:15. > :01:19.involved. Nice, feel free to share the biscuits here as well. If you

:01:19. > :01:25.thought Fearne's friends are impress to have have been here so

:01:25. > :01:28.early, this is Harriet. She splashed urgent on some very

:01:28. > :01:35.exclusive Jubilee accommodation. Tell us about your night's sleep

:01:35. > :01:43.last night? My five-star street of London accommodation was fantastic.

:01:43. > :01:48.12 of us have come down, including my mum, who was 72, and she came

:01:48. > :01:53.down for the Coronation. Three generations of my family. These are

:01:53. > :01:56.my nieces. We slept out. We had a brilliant night last night, dancing

:01:56. > :02:01.with policemen, dancing in the streets. We've had a fantastic

:02:01. > :02:05.night and we are now ready to go home. But not until you've seen the

:02:05. > :02:11.Queen and the balcony. You don't want to sleep in a tent on The Mall

:02:11. > :02:14.all night and miss that moment. Send my lover to your mum. I will.

:02:14. > :02:20.No royal celebration is complete without the crowds, the bunting,

:02:20. > :02:24.and, my favourite, royal memorabilia. Look at this.

:02:24. > :02:28.Souvenirs have been produced to mark royal occasions for over 300

:02:28. > :02:34.years, and right now shops are full of anything and everything marked

:02:34. > :02:39.Diamond Jubilee. But there is only one collection of memorabilia which

:02:39. > :02:44.comes with Her Majesty's approval. This is produced in Stoke-on-Trent.

:02:44. > :02:50.They have had to create something very special for this Jubilee year.

:02:50. > :02:55.Hate been through many sets of eyes, many incarnations before we

:02:55. > :02:59.presented it to the Queen. Fortunately she liked it and signed

:02:59. > :03:07.it off. Stoke-on-Trent has had an association with the ceramics

:03:07. > :03:12.industry for many years. These are made by skilled craftsmen and women.

:03:12. > :03:18.When we started the business never in our wildest dreams would we

:03:18. > :03:22.think we would be making china for the Queen's Jubilee. The royal

:03:22. > :03:28.collection makes Apple tiny part of the variety of souvenirs available.

:03:28. > :03:32.Some of us might buy one or two items but one lady in a London

:03:32. > :03:38.suburb has managed to top 10,000 over the past 32 years. There is no

:03:38. > :03:41.limit to what I buy in the shape of royal memorabilia. If I like it, I

:03:41. > :03:46.buy it. I was always interested in the Royal Family even as a little

:03:46. > :03:49.girl, because I'm four years older than Prince Charles, so I used to

:03:49. > :03:58.cut out photographs of him and Princess Anne. It grew from there.

:03:58. > :04:04.I have to have my house in section, -- sections because I can't stand

:04:04. > :04:11.my house mixed up. This is an egg cosy from 1887. I think they had

:04:11. > :04:18.larger eggs then than we do! This is Edward and Alexandra. Here we

:04:18. > :04:24.have George and Mary. This is where we come to my silver Jubilee room.

:04:24. > :04:29.There are a lot of mugs and plates brought out. Everybody had street

:04:29. > :04:34.parties. We dressed our children in red, white and blue crepe paper. It

:04:34. > :04:37.was a lovely old-fashioned time really when you look back on it now.

:04:37. > :04:41.This is my Diamond Jubilee collection, which is growing day by

:04:41. > :04:47.day and which I'm thrilled about. Here we have the Queen. When the

:04:47. > :04:50.sun shines on her handbag, she waves for us. Shis Solar Queen.

:04:50. > :04:55.I've met the Queen on four different occasions and it's the

:04:55. > :04:59.most magical feeling. You feel so uplifted and for days after you are

:04:59. > :05:05.just wandering around, off with the fairies really. It's the most

:05:05. > :05:09.wonderful feeling. And now joining news St James's Park is the lovely

:05:09. > :05:14.Paloma Faith everyone! CHEERING Have you had a lovely Jubilee

:05:14. > :05:18.weekend? I've had an amazing time. My album went to number two in the

:05:19. > :05:24.charts, so I've been celebrating that. And I was out in Soho

:05:24. > :05:29.yesterday looking at all the drag Queens that were dressed as the

:05:29. > :05:34.Queen. Amazing. Everyone is getting involved and having a lovely time.

:05:34. > :05:37.I want to talk to you. I love buying anything royal. Any royal

:05:37. > :05:44.memorabilia. Do you have anything yourself at home? I don't think I

:05:44. > :05:51.have, but I want to take all of this back. What's your favourite so

:05:51. > :05:58.far? Jelly and ice Crete. We have the Queen jelly, a wobblely Queen,

:05:58. > :06:08.with some ice cream from the Queen's scoop. I love that.

:06:08. > :06:09.

:06:09. > :06:15.face is just ice cream. I love that a lot. Slightly ma cab ra. Thon one

:06:15. > :06:20.she is just chilling out in a tea cup. This is probably one of the

:06:20. > :06:25.more unusual ones. If you have eaten too much you can vomit into a

:06:25. > :06:30.Jubilee sick bag. And the colours, red or blue, it is up to you. I

:06:31. > :06:38.have one of these at home, a solar- powered Queen that waves, which is

:06:38. > :06:43.useless but brilliant. She is pro- environment. She is. Top Trump

:06:43. > :06:49.cards. A fan of these as a kid? These are good. We can ask each

:06:49. > :06:53.other questions about things like one's favourite yacht. Sure. Or a

:06:54. > :07:00.corgi et cetera. Or one favourite couple. Why not? One's favourite

:07:00. > :07:10.time of year. Can I bring in our male model, Jake Humphrey here.

:07:10. > :07:12.

:07:12. > :07:18.Gorgeous! Hello! High-visibility diamond Liz! Would you wear that?

:07:18. > :07:26.You know me, I'm up for anything. And I have a royal tattoo as well.

:07:26. > :07:36.I've got a corgi. Thank you very much Paloma Faith everyone.

:07:36. > :07:38.

:07:38. > :07:42.I took the initiative when I met the Queen. I said the reason I'm

:07:42. > :07:50.here today is I wham the Charge for Sport Relief. She asked how much I

:07:50. > :07:54.raised and I said, "�1 million. I wanted to si, "Make it �2 million"

:07:54. > :08:00.but I thought she wouldn't appreciate that. She asked if I was

:08:00. > :08:05.covered in goose fat and I said yes, but it is not as much fun as it

:08:05. > :08:09.looks. It made her smile a bit. I didn't get to meet her again until

:08:09. > :08:13.last year. She has the ability to make us feel special. When you've

:08:14. > :08:18.done something really tough for charity it is the icing on the cake.

:08:18. > :08:22.David wall yam there is. Some more thoughts on what's going

:08:22. > :08:27.on today. What's been going on for the past three or four days and the

:08:28. > :08:33.significance of it. We are going 10 Downing Street to join Fiona. Prime

:08:33. > :08:38.Minister, we saw you doing your reading at St Paul's this morning.

:08:38. > :08:41.How has your weekend been for you? It has been a mixture of things in

:08:41. > :08:47.my constituency, tiny village street parties, where the whole

:08:47. > :08:51.village turns out, and the huge events for which Thames river

:08:51. > :08:54.pageants and the service at St Paul's. We've seen the best of

:08:54. > :08:59.Britain, people coming together to celebrate the Queen's Diamond

:08:59. > :09:03.Jubilee. But we've also seen a great resilience, people wanting to

:09:03. > :09:07.celebrate even though the weather's been pretty bad, and an

:09:07. > :09:11.extraordinary resilience on behalf of Her Majesty, who despite of all

:09:11. > :09:17.the problems and difficulties have kept going with incredible spirit.

:09:17. > :09:22.She is a real inspiration. In 1981 you were camped out on The Mall for

:09:22. > :09:25.Charles and Diana's wedding, is that right? The weather then was

:09:26. > :09:30.very good but it was fun. I remember spending the night there

:09:30. > :09:33.and the party atmosphere and watching some of your TV coverage

:09:34. > :09:39.just now and seeing the people who slept in the park last night and

:09:39. > :09:42.having a party, it took me back to what it was like then. I know you

:09:42. > :09:45.were country dancing in your constituency and you had a street

:09:45. > :09:50.party in Number Ten? That's right. We had a street party half outside,

:09:50. > :09:54.we had the Scouts outside, and quite a lot of elderly people

:09:54. > :09:57.coming through a number of different local charities. We

:09:57. > :10:00.brought them together for a street party, which was agreement it was a

:10:00. > :10:04.rel opportunities to bring people into this extraordinary building

:10:04. > :10:09.and use all the rooms that we've got to have our own celebration.

:10:09. > :10:13.But with my family I've been down in Oxfordshire, very small villages,

:10:13. > :10:17.very small events, but everyone turns up. There was country dance

:10:17. > :10:22.but there were no cameras. I'm quite pleased about that. I'm sure

:10:22. > :10:26.we are all relieved about that, Were at the concert last What did

:10:26. > :10:30.you make of that? It was magnificent. The combination of

:10:30. > :10:35.incredible old stars and some new stars, opera, popular music, I

:10:35. > :10:39.thought the lighting up of Buckingham Palace, I don't know how

:10:39. > :10:43.they did that but it was absolutely brilliant. It was a great night.

:10:43. > :10:49.What this weekend shows we've got this incredible institution, the

:10:49. > :10:53.monarchy, which people revere and love. It brings the country

:10:53. > :10:58.together. It is above politics. We are also great with our culture and

:10:58. > :11:02.our music and all the vibrancy of a modern country. I thought last

:11:02. > :11:07.night really showed that in a sensationally exciting way.

:11:07. > :11:11.have your own briefings with the Queen every week. How significant,

:11:11. > :11:14.how important are they to you? are very important, because he she

:11:14. > :11:19.is a very important part of the institution. This weekly meeting of

:11:19. > :11:24.trying to set out the problems and challenges the country faces and

:11:24. > :11:29.some of the global challenges is a very useful exercise in itself, but

:11:29. > :11:34.also Her Majesty has seen 11 other promise. She knows every member of

:11:34. > :11:37.state. She's travelled to virtually every country in the world. Her

:11:37. > :11:45.knowledge, experience and good old- fashioned common sense is very hard

:11:45. > :11:49.to beat. Prime Minister, thank you very much. Thank you.

:11:49. > :11:54.A sense here of the crowds building because there is not long to go

:11:55. > :11:59.before we have that spectacular fly-past by the ra. The crowds are

:11:59. > :12:04.surging towards Admiraltyry arch and being held back by that line of

:12:04. > :12:09.police at the moment, but they will gradual I will be allowed to flow

:12:09. > :12:14.down The Mall towards the Queen Victoria ma moral and Buckingham

:12:14. > :12:21.Palace itself. You get a real sense of the crowd that is now building

:12:21. > :12:27.along The Mall and all of them flowing out from St James's park on

:12:27. > :12:32.the southern side of The Mall on to the great expanse of The Mall

:12:32. > :12:36.itself. But it does give you a true sense of the size and the strength

:12:36. > :12:39.of this crowd. It reminds us a little of the crowd here last night

:12:39. > :12:43.for the concert, which was indeed impressive. Chris Hollins is there

:12:43. > :12:47.for us and can give us a better sense of what's going on and the

:12:47. > :12:52.mood there. Thank you Huw. As ever everybody is

:12:52. > :12:55.really looking forward to that moment they can walk down The Mall

:12:55. > :12:59.and surround Buckingham Palace. They seem quiet at the moment...

:12:59. > :13:03.CHEERING Look at these beautiful faces

:13:03. > :13:07.painted with the Union Flag there. You are looking a bit tired. What

:13:07. > :13:15.time were you here yesterday? O'clock but prior to that I had

:13:15. > :13:18.camped out for the river pageant. So you have really gone full out?

:13:18. > :13:24.Absolutely soaked. I've probably got trench foot by now I would

:13:24. > :13:32.think. But it is worth it isn't it? It is amazing. It looks as if the

:13:32. > :13:37.Queen has Lent you one of her Where are you from? You were here

:13:38. > :13:43.for the 50, 60 and you will be for the 70? Excellent. People from

:13:43. > :13:49.India in the background. You get a sense of a real global event. You

:13:50. > :13:55.are all ready to go towards Buckingham Palace. Some of them are

:13:55. > :13:59.a bit shy. That's the sort of enthusiasm we

:13:59. > :14:04.have been looking for. How are you feeling? Wonderful, thank you.

:14:04. > :14:09.Where are you from? Canada. So many people from the Commonwealth here,

:14:09. > :14:14.all wanting to share in this fantastic moment, the Jubilee.

:14:14. > :14:16.hours, it was worth the 24-hour wait. That's what makes Great

:14:16. > :14:20.Britain great. Thank you very much indeed.

:14:21. > :14:25.There you have it summed up in a few words.

:14:25. > :14:35.The very orderly flow of people down the Mall.

:14:35. > :14:37.

:14:37. > :14:40.They're managed by the police and Steadily making their way down, I

:14:40. > :14:44.think we can guarantee the Mall will be packed by the time this

:14:44. > :14:54.flow of people has been allowed to make its way all the way down to

:14:54. > :14:56.

:14:56. > :15:03.the railings in front of Buckingham And still they run along, people

:15:03. > :15:06.joining from Trafalgar Square and Whitehall itself. A couple of

:15:06. > :15:16.umbrellas in evidence, but some up for a bit of show, they don't

:15:16. > :15:22.

:15:22. > :15:25.really need them. Happily, it's That's the crowd making its way

:15:25. > :15:33.through Admiralty Arch, the three great arches open and two small

:15:33. > :15:39.pedestrian arches. The steady progress of the front

:15:39. > :15:46.row. Very similar to the scenes that we

:15:46. > :15:50.were talking about ten years ago for the Golden Jubilee and it's

:15:50. > :15:58.quite clear that those scenes are going to be matched again.

:15:58. > :16:08.What an impressive sight. The Mall, with the enormous Union

:16:08. > :16:10.

:16:10. > :16:14.flags hanging from the trees either The flags of the different nations

:16:14. > :16:24.of the UK fluttering there and different nations across the world

:16:24. > :16:32.

:16:32. > :16:35.and the Commonwealth fluttering in They know what to wait for, because

:16:35. > :16:40.they know they're going to get that appearance on the balcony in a

:16:40. > :16:46.while, but they also know there's to be a fly-past. I should explain

:16:46. > :16:52.that the fly-past will involve 18 aircraft, flying over Buckingham

:16:52. > :16:57.Palace. There will be 1,000-1,500 feet in terms of their height and

:16:57. > :16:59.in terms of the range of their flights. They'll be going over

:16:59. > :17:06.Buckingham Palace at low level and it will be impressive because of

:17:06. > :17:14.the nature of the aircraft involved, including a Lancaster and, of

:17:14. > :17:20.course, the red arrows, some spitfires and a Hurricane, too. A

:17:20. > :17:23.real sense of modern aircraft, allied with some of the the

:17:23. > :17:33.aircraft that have played an important part in warfare in the

:17:33. > :17:48.

:17:48. > :17:56.The crowd now gradually filling the Mall.

:17:57. > :18:02.People joining from all kinds of points of entry, from St James'

:18:02. > :18:07.Park, and they'll all be ready for the Queen's appearance on the

:18:07. > :18:11.balcony in a while. And that impressive fly-past. And

:18:11. > :18:21.that will be the culmination, the highpoint of the events, after the

:18:21. > :18:30.

:18:30. > :18:34.service, of course, at St Paul's While we look at these images I am

:18:34. > :18:38.going to introduce my next guest but we are not going to see him but

:18:38. > :18:42.once he starts speaking you will know who it is.

:18:42. > :18:46.Why don't I ask you to say a few words for us, first. People will

:18:46. > :18:50.know exactly who it is. Well, Huw, it's a delight to be here. Sir John

:18:50. > :18:53.Major, thank you very much. We were hearing from David Cameron a while

:18:53. > :18:56.ago and good to have you with us. Thank you. First of all, the day,

:18:57. > :18:59.what did you make of today? quite extraordinary. But then it's

:18:59. > :19:03.been an extraordinary two or three days. The whole country's been in

:19:03. > :19:07.the middle of a great party. People have come out in a way that I think

:19:07. > :19:11.very few people actually imagined. I had been around a long time, I

:19:11. > :19:15.don't think I have seen anything quite like this before. Why has it

:19:15. > :19:19.happened? I think it's a culmination of things. We live in a

:19:19. > :19:23.pretty cynical world, sadly, these days and people have seen someone

:19:24. > :19:28.who for 60 years has been the best example of selfless service that I

:19:28. > :19:31.think you can possibly imagine. In some fashion that is now

:19:31. > :19:35.communicated itself to people and this opportunity has been a great

:19:35. > :19:40.opportunity to show what people think of the monarchy and this

:19:40. > :19:44.particular monarch. This is an amazing scene. It certainly is.

:19:45. > :19:49.I can't imagine hardly anyone else in the world who could draw crowds

:19:49. > :19:53.like this. Here we are looking at the mall, but I have driven from

:19:53. > :19:57.south London, it's the same way along much of the route. Huge

:19:57. > :20:02.numbers of people just crowding in the streets, holding flags from the

:20:02. > :20:09.very eldery, to Little Children barely able to toddle. It's a

:20:09. > :20:14.memorable sight. Lots of people today talking about

:20:15. > :20:18.2002 and indeed thinking back to 1977. What were you doing back in

:20:18. > :20:21.1977 for the Silver Jubilee, do you remember? I do remember, I was

:20:21. > :20:25.standing in the streets, like everybody else. I remember it very

:20:25. > :20:29.well indeed. I remember the Coronation. It was another great

:20:29. > :20:32.celebration at the time. It lifted the gloom of the post-war years in

:20:32. > :20:37.a truly remarkable fashion. have a particular interest over and

:20:37. > :20:40.above the usual interest in today's events because you are chairman of

:20:40. > :20:44.the Diamond Jubilee Trust. That's correct. What does that involve.

:20:44. > :20:47.Well, the trust has been set up at the request of all the Commonwealth

:20:47. > :20:51.Prime Ministers, and heads of Government, all 54 countries,

:20:51. > :20:55.they've set up the Trust to raise money to set up legacy projects to

:20:55. > :21:01.honour the Queen's long reign. The Queen has said please don't make

:21:01. > :21:03.presentations to me. If you wish to make a tribute, then donate your

:21:03. > :21:06.tribute to the Diamond Jubilee Trust. We are going to raise as

:21:07. > :21:11.much money as we can in this country and right across every

:21:11. > :21:15.country of the Commonwealth, from governments, local governments,

:21:15. > :21:20.individuals, people can donate via our website. When we have raised as

:21:20. > :21:24.much as we possibly can in one year only we are then going to utilise

:21:24. > :21:27.it in a relatively small number of big projects to help people in the

:21:27. > :21:32.- right across the Commonwealth. How will you decide thousand spend

:21:32. > :21:36.the money? It Will be an objective decision but the sort of thing we

:21:36. > :21:39.have in mind, not final decisions, but sort of thing, why not

:21:39. > :21:43.scholarships for the disabled? There are schemes around the world,

:21:43. > :21:47.I know of no scholarship scheme for the disabled. That would be a

:21:47. > :21:52.wonderful, permanent tribute. We are looking at how we can restore

:21:52. > :21:56.sight to to many people who are blind, their sight can be restored.

:21:56. > :22:00.We are looking at schemes in cities where people are short of nutrition

:22:00. > :22:05.and good food to set up urban gardens, even in tower blocks and

:22:05. > :22:09.flats you can set up urban gardens to grow food. That's the sort of

:22:09. > :22:16.project that we are looking at. We will be working with really great

:22:16. > :22:20.charities like the Eden Project and Sightsavers. We thought we could

:22:20. > :22:22.use sport particularly for the young, the concept of teams, rather

:22:22. > :22:26.than gangs, all across the Commonwealth that's necessary. It's

:22:26. > :22:30.a huge range of ideas. First, we have to raise the money and once we

:22:30. > :22:35.have the money, as much as we can get, I set no target, as much as we

:22:35. > :22:39.can get, then we can disperse it on schemes in honour of the Queen that

:22:39. > :22:41.will be badged, as it were, to show it's in honour of the Queen and

:22:41. > :22:46.that it will make a real difference to lives of people who have much

:22:46. > :22:50.less than most of us. Sir John, as ever, great to talk to you and

:22:51. > :22:57.thank you for coming in to talk to us. Enjoy the day. Thank you.

:22:57. > :23:01.John Major there. Chris is on the Mall, let's join him.

:23:01. > :23:04.The crowd is slowly making its way towards Buckingham Palace and

:23:04. > :23:11.they've finally arrived. Look at them.

:23:11. > :23:16.Swarms, wave after wave of happy people.

:23:16. > :23:22.Scouts, Brownies, we have seen everybody make their way to the

:23:22. > :23:26.Palace. Finally, they're here to see that all-- what they've wanted

:23:26. > :23:36.to see the balcony shot. Now they're here and all very excited.

:23:36. > :23:48.

:23:48. > :23:55.And on it goes. There you can see the great build-up just at the

:23:55. > :24:00.point where the stands for the concert are in place.

:24:00. > :24:08.Very soon the order will be given for the ranks of police officers

:24:08. > :24:12.there to lead on and they will fill the area, that semicircle around

:24:12. > :24:19.the main carriage gates. That will be an impressive moment. That will

:24:19. > :24:23.be in a few minutes, because we are about, I reckon maybe 20 minutes

:24:23. > :24:26.away from the actual appearance. It could be 15 minutes.

:24:26. > :24:31.Sort of rough timings at the moment. That's the kind of timing we are

:24:31. > :24:36.talking about. St James' Park will now be seeing

:24:36. > :24:40.people drifting down towards the Palace. Let's go back there.

:24:40. > :24:45.What a moving powerful sight there on the Mall. We will be heading

:24:45. > :24:49.there ourselves in a moment. It's important to focus on the fact that

:24:49. > :24:53.actually this weekend is also the start of a really important

:24:53. > :24:57.sporting summer for this small island of ours, the Euro

:24:57. > :25:01.championships in a few days and the next time the Mall is packed with

:25:01. > :25:06.people waving flags it will probably be the culmination of the

:25:06. > :25:12.marathon or road race for the Olympic Games and two people who

:25:12. > :25:16.know all about the Olympics, Kelly Sotherton and Mark foster. For all

:25:16. > :25:20.the athletes involved in the Olympics, the next time the country

:25:20. > :25:23.feels like this they will be the focus of attention. In Olympic

:25:23. > :25:28.terms, when the torch arrived in the West Country in Cornwall the

:25:28. > :25:31.buzz sort of started and went around communities and seeing

:25:31. > :25:34.people coming out and lining the roads with the the torch going

:25:34. > :25:38.around and what you have seen here with the Jubilee, the country's

:25:38. > :25:42.getting behind, not only the Olympics, behind the Jubilee,

:25:42. > :25:49.everything, which is wonderful to see. You have carried the Olympic

:25:49. > :25:53.Flag in Beijing but you are a torch-bearer as well. On July 6th,

:25:53. > :25:56.in Southend, this is actually for my mother. I told her not to come

:25:56. > :26:02.to Beijing and the night before I got told I was going to carry the

:26:02. > :26:07.flag she rang me and went really, you told me not to come. Now I am

:26:07. > :26:13.going to carry the torch, she might be the one that runs alongside me

:26:13. > :26:16.and grabs it. Kelly, I have to say hardlines for you, because you were

:26:16. > :26:19.looking to compete in 2012 and sadly you have announced your

:26:19. > :26:23.retire tphplt the last few -- retirement in the last few days.

:26:23. > :26:27.was trying to qualify for the Olympics and a week prior I hurt my

:26:27. > :26:33.back, so I rested for a week to try to get to the competition in one

:26:33. > :26:39.piece. I did, but halfway through the 200 metres my back went. I have

:26:39. > :26:42.a slipped disc and it hit the nerve. I had to wave my dream goodbye and

:26:42. > :26:45.I had an operation that week T would have taken too long to come

:26:45. > :26:49.back and as I had the qualified score from the previous year I

:26:50. > :26:55.couldn't make the Olympics. It's heart-wrenches because I have had a

:26:56. > :27:00.terrible couple of years. I was always retiring, retiring. How will

:27:00. > :27:04.you feel watching, now you are not par taking? I really want to enjoy

:27:04. > :27:07.it, because it's not every day the Olympics are in Great Britain and

:27:07. > :27:10.it will probably never be here in my lifetime. I have tickets for

:27:11. > :27:15.various events and I will enjoy it and support the team. The BBC

:27:15. > :27:20.coverage is going to be quite good, as well. You can enjoy that. Mark,

:27:20. > :27:24.you will be working down there. Give us people to look out for,

:27:24. > :27:29.playerly -- particularly in the pool. You always find the pool is

:27:29. > :27:39.one of the places everybody loves to go. A lot of athletes in the

:27:39. > :27:40.

:27:40. > :27:50.past said we have to come to the pool. Phelps will be there.

:27:50. > :27:52.

:27:52. > :28:02.Franklin, some new names. England's perspective, Becky Adlington. And

:28:02. > :28:06.

:28:06. > :28:10.Kerry Anne Payne. Thank you very The surge continues, as people have

:28:10. > :28:15.seen the opportunity to get up close to the Palace, close to the

:28:15. > :28:18.railing, and to have a great view of the famous balcony when the

:28:18. > :28:24.Queen and other members of the Royal Family will appear in a short

:28:24. > :28:28.while. I want to send in everyone for sending messages. We've

:28:28. > :28:37.received lots. I want to convey a few of them as we keep on with

:28:37. > :28:43.these images. All kind of people are turning up, people in

:28:43. > :28:47.pushchairs, slightly stunned but enjoying the day. Chuck in London

:28:47. > :28:51.doesn't give a surname but we thank you for the message. He sums up the

:28:51. > :28:56.messages from lots of people, saying these are amazing Jubilee

:28:56. > :29:02.celebrations. They make everyone fall in love again, he says, with

:29:02. > :29:07.the Union Jack. It shows how great and united Britain is. Mark the

:29:07. > :29:12.Leicester says he loves the sight of people piling down The Mall.

:29:12. > :29:17.This is happening right now Mark, so I hope you are happy with these

:29:17. > :29:22.images. And Jack Rosser, who doesn't say where he is, he wishes

:29:22. > :29:26.he was in London. The atmosphere, he says, looks amazing. I can tell

:29:26. > :29:32.you what, Jack, it peoples amazing as well. Our studio here at

:29:32. > :29:42.Buckingham Palace is just yards away. Now we can actually see the

:29:42. > :29:46.great surge of people moving towards the gates. All of them

:29:46. > :29:56.hoping for the best view, with cameras at the ready for when the

:29:56. > :30:04.

:30:04. > :30:11.Queen appears on the Palace balcony What does that remind us of? If you

:30:11. > :30:17.were watching the concert last night, it was only one act - Grace

:30:17. > :30:22.Jones memorably performing. And yes the skies are grey now. They were

:30:22. > :30:29.blue this morning, but mercifully we are still in pretty dry weather.

:30:30. > :30:39.Let's hope it holds for another half-hour or so. Yes the umbrellas

:30:40. > :30:46.

:30:46. > :30:55.are out. But it doesn't look too heavy at the moment, the rain.

:30:55. > :31:00.I'm going to introduce my next guest, a distinguished guest, Major

:31:00. > :31:05.General Sebastian Roberts. Thank you very much for coming in. Great

:31:05. > :31:09.to see you. Your thoughts on the day? It's been wonderful. I watched

:31:09. > :31:15.yesterday on television and the feeling there was transmitted

:31:15. > :31:19.brilliantly. It is tremendous to be here and to see it as it is. Having

:31:19. > :31:23.usually been the other side of the railings to see the crowd from this

:31:23. > :31:28.side, it's fantastic. I can think of no better way to watch this from

:31:28. > :31:35.here. I want you to unlock a secret for us if you will, because we are

:31:35. > :31:41.going to have what we call a feu de joie, when the Queen appears later

:31:41. > :31:47.on. You were in charge of a feu de joie which we enjoyed in 2006 after

:31:47. > :31:52.the birthday parade, but lot of people will be wondering what it is.

:31:52. > :32:00.What's the expert description? is the historic way, particularly

:32:01. > :32:08.for infantry men, to to fire a volley of shots in screns. Its

:32:08. > :32:12.origins go back -- in sequence. Its other begins go back to the 18th

:32:12. > :32:22.century. This is the only - thsh is only the second way for it to be

:32:22. > :32:23.

:32:23. > :32:29.done for the Queen. It is a way for infantrymen to fire, in respect of

:32:29. > :32:36.sovereigns. It is an infantryman's celebration. Is it tricky to

:32:36. > :32:41.accomplish? It is so rarely done that it has its own trickiness. The

:32:41. > :32:45.garrison major I suspect has lost a bit of sleep about it, but no,

:32:45. > :32:52.remember the guys doing this have used the very same weapons in

:32:52. > :32:56.action in Afghanistan and Iraq. They are in the hands of experts,

:32:56. > :33:00.although they don't always fire them wearing these uniforms. After

:33:00. > :33:09.'06 what was the Queen saying to you about the feu de joie and how

:33:09. > :33:15.it turned out? I think she enjoyed it. There was an almost

:33:15. > :33:18.irresistible front page at the time, but no, it was very well taken that

:33:18. > :33:22.this was an opportunity for particularly her household troops

:33:22. > :33:27.to do something unusual but a personal act of congratulation and

:33:27. > :33:32.gratitude to her. There is lots written about this relationship and

:33:32. > :33:38.the closeness of the relationship between the monarch and her troops.

:33:38. > :33:42.Is that overstated? No. I think it's true that all her troops, that

:33:42. > :33:49.is to say the whole of her Army and armed forces, feel something very

:33:49. > :33:56.special for her The Army it is what we swear the oath of allegiance to

:33:59. > :34:04.the Foot Guards and the Household Cavalry, the Household Division in

:34:04. > :34:08.a sense are doing this on behalf of the rest of the Army. And indeed

:34:08. > :34:13.the rest of the armed forces and everybody else. It is a personal

:34:13. > :34:19.contact which we are honoured to have. We only represent others.

:34:19. > :34:28.you are making that point we hear the strains of Rule Brit an ia

:34:28. > :34:34.outside. -- Rule Britannia outside. They are getting ready with some

:34:34. > :34:44.pretty rousing music. Let's listen and enjoy it for a

:35:50. > :35:56.Land of Hope and Glory. They enjoyed that. The Union Jacks are

:35:56. > :36:03.out in force and the Union Jack is pretty much everywhere, on hats,

:36:03. > :36:09.items of clothing, on memorabilia and in different shapes and sizes,

:36:09. > :36:15.with tiny kiddie sizes and much bigger ones. "Thanks for the day

:36:15. > :36:19.off" indeed. Thanks for the two days off, given that it is an

:36:19. > :36:24.extended weekend. Not long now before the Queen will appear on the

:36:24. > :36:29.balcony of Buckingham Palace. Probably I reckon in about ten

:36:29. > :36:33.minutes or so before we see the curtains twitching and the doors

:36:33. > :36:42.opening and the Royal Family appearing on the balcony. The great

:36:42. > :36:51.sound of the pipes and drums. The first Battalion Irish Guards

:36:51. > :36:54.working very hard to entertain the crowd this afternoon.

:36:54. > :37:00.As people enjoy the scene outside Buckingham Palace we'll have more

:37:00. > :37:04.special guests for you in just a few minutes. Let's join Sonali. I'm

:37:04. > :37:12.with five-year-old Harry from Brighton and his family. Just look

:37:12. > :37:20.how close we are to bufplt amazing guys. Good efforts. Harry, you want

:37:20. > :37:25.to sing the national anthem live on BBC One. Go for it. God save our

:37:25. > :37:30.gracious Queen, long live our noble Queen, God save our Queen. That's

:37:30. > :37:39.amazing. Brilliant! CHEERING We've also got seven-year-old Ellie

:37:39. > :37:43.from Grimsby. What's been the best part of your day? Watching all the

:37:44. > :37:51.horses. They were brilliant. You must have loved seeing the Queen as

:37:51. > :37:58.well. Yes. Enjoy the rest of your Jubilee weekend, guys.

:37:58. > :38:02.Such an impressive scene and very soon the entire space around the

:38:02. > :38:06.Queen Victoria Memorial will be absolutely packed. The stage which

:38:06. > :38:11.was there last night has been dismantled. The canopy is still in

:38:11. > :38:20.place, which might be handy given that it is starting to spit with a

:38:20. > :38:26.little bit of rain. The entire force of people in The

:38:27. > :38:33.Mall on the move heading towards Buckingham Palace. I did promise

:38:33. > :38:39.you some special guests. So I'm going to keep my word. We have

:38:39. > :38:43.Terry Wogan and Andrew Lloyd Webber with us, and Sir Sebastian is still

:38:44. > :38:49.with us. Temporaryry, some thoughts on this extended weekends. I was

:38:49. > :38:57.privileged to be able to do the coverage for Radio 2 last night of

:38:57. > :39:05.that magnificent concert. From the moment that Robbie Williams came on

:39:05. > :39:08.with Let Me Entertain You, to the pyrotechnics of Paul McCartney at

:39:08. > :39:13.the end. If there is ever to be a better concert, I want to be here

:39:13. > :39:18.to see it. Just watching the crowd coming down from Admiralty Arch,

:39:18. > :39:25.that was the way it was last night. There must be 100,000 people.

:39:25. > :39:30.20,000 people and all the way back to the arch, as it is now. What a

:39:30. > :39:35.sight. And the crowd add enormously to it. The colour, the sounds, the

:39:35. > :39:41.performances, the artists. There'll never be another concert like it.

:39:41. > :39:46.You do agree, Andrew? I do. course he agrees, he was part of

:39:46. > :39:51.it! It was an extraordinary moment. Just before we went on air, I went

:39:51. > :39:56.out with Gareth Malone and we rehearsed the crowd singing the

:39:56. > :40:02.Jubilee song. Down The Mall it was bright sunshine that. Moment. It

:40:02. > :40:06.was extraordinary. The sun hit the houses of Parliament. It was really

:40:06. > :40:12.wonderful. I really enjoyed it. thought it a shame that you didn't

:40:12. > :40:17.come on with a hula hoop. I didn't want to upstage anybody. Of course!

:40:17. > :40:24.The music, your involvement in the music last night was particular.

:40:24. > :40:27.Tell us about it. It it was Jubilee song. Gary Barlow and I had a

:40:27. > :40:31.specific idea - to celebrate the Queen's involvement with the

:40:31. > :40:34.Commonwealth. Of all the things she would like to be remembered for, I

:40:34. > :40:38.think her devotion to the Commonwealth is probably the top

:40:38. > :40:43.one. I think we can reveal this now that it is all over that in fact we

:40:43. > :40:48.played her the song privately before the official unveiling of it,

:40:48. > :40:53.and it was great fun. We had a few of the Military Wives around the

:40:53. > :40:59.piano and Gary and I played it. She's been very generous about it

:40:59. > :41:02.and allowed us to say she is delighted with it. Very nice to be

:41:02. > :41:06.part of that. On the radio coverage we had so many messages and e-mails

:41:06. > :41:10.from all over the world, from various parts of the Commonwealth,

:41:10. > :41:15.from the East Coast of the United States, from Canada, the car been.

:41:15. > :41:19.It is wonderful to have the response from all over the world.

:41:19. > :41:23.Everybody thinking it was absolutely magnificent. A good

:41:23. > :41:27.point, Sebastian. When we were talking to members of the Household

:41:27. > :41:30.Cavalry, that was nice, as it reflected the mix and the richness

:41:30. > :41:37.and the diversity of the Commonwealth, and members of the

:41:37. > :41:42.Household Cavalry today. Indeed. 10% of the British Army are from

:41:42. > :41:48.the Commonwealth or the United Nations. It is important to speak

:41:48. > :41:52.up for the Irish Army. That diversity is one of the things we

:41:52. > :41:58.are celebrating today. And plenty of Welsh people Toon old podium

:41:58. > :42:05.weren't there - Tom, Shirley. did brilliantly. They virtually

:42:05. > :42:12.took over. Where there any Scots? I'm half Scottish. That box has

:42:12. > :42:16.been ticked. Thank heavens for that! This is building up now to

:42:16. > :42:21.what's an important moment in the military preparation for the

:42:21. > :42:26.ceremonial element. What's going on? Are people hoping for the best?

:42:26. > :42:32.I'm sure it is beyond hope but I must say, waiting to give the

:42:32. > :42:37.orders for the feu de joie myself for the Queen's 80th birthday, I

:42:37. > :42:42.was certainly going over the words of command many my mind. I knew

:42:42. > :42:47.there would be others there to take my place if I got it wrong The head

:42:47. > :42:53.of a commander it is a busy time. It is an extraordinary collection

:42:53. > :42:59.of people. I know we are looking at the backs of their heads, but it is

:42:59. > :43:05.eclectic wouldn't you say? All ages. It certainly is. A very broad mix.

:43:05. > :43:08.Half of the people we've been interviewing from been from all

:43:08. > :43:12.around the world, from Australia, the United States. It is

:43:12. > :43:15.interesting to see that some of the smaller countries of the

:43:15. > :43:25.Commonwealth are represented here. Let's see if we can join Chris once

:43:25. > :43:29.We are down by the Buckingham Palace gates just waiting for the

:43:29. > :43:34.arrival of the Royal Family. There are a few dads whose shoulders are

:43:34. > :43:37.aching. Indeed, it's been a wonderful day. It's good to have

:43:37. > :43:41.the children to see the Queen and celebrate 60 years. What's the view

:43:41. > :43:46.like up there? It's really good. Not too tiring sitting on dad's

:43:46. > :43:51.shoulders? No. It's going to be about three, four minutes. A very

:43:51. > :43:57.smart gentleman here in a red suit looking forward to it. Other dads,

:43:57. > :44:03.look at that. And a mum! Is this your little one up here? They're

:44:03. > :44:11.all. Everybody is on the shoulders. I have to find Sonali. We have

:44:11. > :44:18.about three minutes to wait but we are all getting excited.

:44:18. > :44:22.I have to say, now we can see an ocean of umbrellas. Maybe the spits

:44:22. > :44:27.of rain I talked about have rather developed.

:44:27. > :44:33.Nobody minds that. It's nothing like Sunday, Terry, let's just say

:44:33. > :44:37.that. If the sun had been shining for that, it would have been a bit

:44:37. > :44:44.too bling. The whole thing looked like an impressionist painting, the

:44:44. > :44:49.boats going up the river in the mist. It was romantic. There is a

:44:49. > :44:53.question from viewers which I must put to you all, you can all answer

:44:53. > :44:56.this question, which is, I am paraphrasing lots of different

:44:56. > :45:03.questions, what is the Queen like to meet? What kind of personality

:45:03. > :45:08.does she have? How does she respond to humour, does she engage readily

:45:08. > :45:12.in chat? Absolutely, I have been privileged to be in her company on

:45:12. > :45:18.more than one occasion. About a year ago she was foolish enough to

:45:18. > :45:22.invite me to dinner at Windsor Castle, fairly convenient from my

:45:22. > :45:25.house, that's probably why she asked. I had the preuf hrepbl of

:45:25. > :45:29.sitting -- privilege of sitting beside her. I noticed for the main

:45:29. > :45:36.course she had a small carrot, a little piece of broccoli, tiny

:45:36. > :45:44.piece of meat and gravy. I said to her, mam, you are hardly eating

:45:44. > :45:49.anything. She looked at me and she said, can't say the same for you!

:45:49. > :45:59.So that epitomises her, a wonderful sense of humour, she's easy to talk

:45:59. > :46:01.

:46:01. > :46:07.to. An entirely pleasant, I hate. I went to another reception years ago

:46:07. > :46:17.in the 70s, the first time, up the great staircase with half of

:46:17. > :46:17.

:46:17. > :46:23.showbiz, joined the reviewing line and she said flab. I thought what,

:46:23. > :46:28.because I used to do a thing called fat the flab on the radio and I was

:46:28. > :46:32.astonished by this, I bowed and moved quickly along and a voice

:46:32. > :46:37.said don't forget about us, I walked straight past Prince Charles

:46:37. > :46:41.and the Queen Mother. Andrew? A sense of the character of the Queen,

:46:41. > :46:45.what would you say? When we played the song to her first and at the

:46:45. > :46:49.end I said thank you very much for coming around, and all of that. I

:46:49. > :46:52.said, so you are going to have to pretend when Gary and I come around

:46:52. > :46:59.to Windsor Castle to play you the song for the television that you

:46:59. > :47:05.haven't heard it. She just said I am very good at pretending.

:47:05. > :47:09.I thought it was wonderful. Delivered with a broad smile.

:47:09. > :47:12.a great joy of sitting next to her too at Windsor and I remember her

:47:12. > :47:16.talking about a speech she was going to make to the United Nations

:47:16. > :47:20.and the thing that really, really I take from that is that it was

:47:20. > :47:25.coming from the heart and not the head. No advisor was telling her

:47:25. > :47:28.about that. It was just what she felt about tolerance and you

:47:28. > :47:31.thought here is the leader of the Church of England and saying we

:47:31. > :47:34.have to be multicultural and consider other faiths. We are

:47:34. > :47:38.minutes away from the balcony appearance.

:47:38. > :47:44.You were saying there is cover on the balcony. They're not going to

:47:44. > :47:47.get drenched. No, it's under cover. At this stage there are no wet

:47:47. > :47:57.weather programmes, they'll stay out whatever the weather does.

:47:57. > :48:02.at the way they behaved during the river cavalcade.

:48:02. > :48:07.For a lady of her age to stand for so long.

:48:07. > :48:10.The doors have opened and Her Majesty, the Queen leads members of

:48:10. > :48:20.the Royal Family on to that famous balcony at whras and -- at

:48:20. > :48:53.

:48:53. > :48:59.This vast crowd here to celebrate six decades of the Queen's reign.

:48:59. > :49:06.She looks into the distance towards Admiralty Arch. The Duke of

:49:06. > :49:11.Cambridge. The Queen acknowledges the tributes

:49:11. > :49:21.and cheers of the crowd. They wait and look up to the sky

:49:21. > :49:33.

:49:33. > :49:37.wondering if the fly-past is on its The Prince of Wales and the Duchess

:49:37. > :49:42.of Cornwall, the Queen, flanked by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:49:42. > :49:50.and Prince Harry. A much smaller group on the balcony than we have

:49:50. > :49:55.seen at past events. There we are, the representation of

:49:55. > :50:01.six decades there and six decades of British history. I know it's

:50:01. > :50:11.been said before, but Prince Charles speech last night I thought

:50:11. > :50:38.

:50:38. > :50:43.was first-class. The crowd here is aware that the

:50:43. > :50:46.planes are on the way and the Queen, who has an expert eye for these

:50:46. > :50:50.things, can spot them in the distance, even though it's pretty

:50:50. > :51:00.cloudy and it's not exactly great visibility.

:51:00. > :51:08.

:51:08. > :51:18.But when it happens it will be a spectacular sight. 18 aircraft, led

:51:18. > :51:38.

:51:38. > :51:48.Straight down the Mall. Flying low over Buckingham Palace.

:51:48. > :52:20.

:52:20. > :52:30.In tribute to the Queen's Diamond The Lancaster is on the way. Four

:52:30. > :52:32.

:52:42. > :52:42.

:52:42. > :52:52.The Spitfires, squadron leader Ian Smith, wing commander, and flight

:52:52. > :53:14.

:53:14. > :53:21.Lieutenant Parkinson. The and the We are now waiting for the climax,

:53:21. > :53:31.spectacular dynamic, exciting, The Red Arrows.

:53:51. > :53:56.white and blue over Buckingham Palace.

:53:57. > :54:05.That's the fly-past. They clearly enjoyed it. The Queen

:54:05. > :54:09.certainly did. Lots of shouts of "God Save the

:54:09. > :54:15.Queen" and "more" from the crowd outside Buckingham Palace today.

:54:15. > :54:25.They wait for this special form of rifle salute which was explained to

:54:25. > :54:25.

:54:25. > :56:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds

:56:35. > :56:44.us a while ago, called the feu de The feu de joie has been

:56:44. > :56:48.accomplished. The orders given by Major General George Norton.

:56:48. > :56:58.He could barely be heard because of the cheers of the crowd. Now three

:56:58. > :57:01.

:57:01. > :57:11.cheers for the Queen. Big smile from the Queen Elizabeth

:57:11. > :57:49.

:57:49. > :57:59.II, acknowledging the tributes on Three cheers for Her Majesty the

:57:59. > :58:17.

:58:21. > :58:24.Queen acknowledging the heartfelt cheer there is the Irish Guards,

:58:24. > :58:30.and still enjoying the scene. Major General Sebastian Roberts looking

:58:30. > :58:35.on with pride. Your thoughts? sure they did it better than we did

:58:35. > :58:45.a few years ago. It is a very fine way to end an extraordinary

:58:45. > :59:09.

:59:09. > :59:18.The Queen leads members of the Royal Family back into Buckingham

:59:18. > :59:24.Palace. And that was the view they had. It's a remarkable sight. The

:59:24. > :59:30.Mall absolutely packed with people. Terry Wogan and Andrew Lloyd Webber

:59:30. > :59:35.are still with me. Terry, that was a fitting climax. It was wonderful

:59:35. > :59:41.to see how Her Majesty responded. First of all I thought she was

:59:41. > :59:45.perhaps a little moved. And then as the planes went over and the feu de

:59:45. > :59:51.joie, she responded to that immediately didn't she. From then

:59:51. > :59:57.on it was smiles all the way. smile said it all didn't it, she

:59:57. > :00:03.was genuinely moved by that. Who couldn't be? It is so well done. I

:00:03. > :00:08.have to say, as a theatreman myself I couldn't get near that. What a

:00:08. > :00:12.compliment. That is a compliment, but it is theatre but it is theatre

:00:12. > :00:17.delivered to perfection. theatre for all of us. These guys

:00:17. > :00:25.are representing all of us in a celebration of the Queen, who is

:00:25. > :00:31.the Queen of all of us. Probably I thought the only person there who

:00:31. > :00:36.has never sung those words. Yes, how many times you do reckon she's

:00:36. > :00:39.heard that, how many Muslims? yet she's never sung it herself,

:00:39. > :00:46.which puts it into perspective. You've all been wonderful guests

:00:46. > :00:49.for us and we are really grateful to you for joining us. Terry Wogan,

:00:49. > :00:55.Major General Sebastian Roberts and Andrew Lloyd Webber. I can't think

:00:55. > :01:00.of better company. Thank you. We are now going to join Chris in The

:01:00. > :01:07.Mall. What's going on, Chris? crowds are making their way home.

:01:07. > :01:12.They've seen the Queen. They have heard the anthems and it's been

:01:12. > :01:16.brilliant. And great to see so many families and different generations,

:01:16. > :01:20.parents, grandparents, and children. We saw a couple from Australia who

:01:20. > :01:23.were at the Coronation in 1953 and they were determined to be back for

:01:23. > :01:29.the Diamond Jubilee. Celebrations are over. Everyone is going off

:01:29. > :01:32.home. I think it is time to sign off.

:01:32. > :01:36.Thank you very much Sonali and Chris.

:01:36. > :01:40.The balcony is empty once again but we can sense that inside they are

:01:40. > :01:46.probably having a good time. Maybe a little cup of tea and celebrating

:01:46. > :01:52.the end of a long and very happy day. A long and happy day hopefully

:01:52. > :01:56.too for our friends in St James's Park. We join Jake and Fearne once

:01:56. > :02:01.again. It's been a pleasure to be part of the Thanksgiving for six

:02:01. > :02:07.wonderful decades of service. I think what stands out for me is a

:02:07. > :02:12.line from the second verse of the national anthem, "On thee our hopes

:02:12. > :02:15.we fission" Definitely. People here have been having a wonderful time.

:02:16. > :02:19.Musically we had so many highlights, and the wonderful concert last

:02:19. > :02:23.night outside Buckingham Palace, to the choir inside St Paul's this

:02:23. > :02:27.morning. It's been a wonderful three days of celebration. Thank

:02:27. > :02:32.you very much from us. And thank you very much indeed and for

:02:32. > :02:37.keeping news a good mood all day. Thanks to Jake and Fearne. We have

:02:37. > :02:42.heard from Sir John Major, and David Cameron. We had more tributes

:02:42. > :02:45.at the end of this day. Your Majesty, congratulations on 60

:02:45. > :02:49.years of extraordinary service, dedication and commitment to our

:02:50. > :02:54.country. You can be immensely proud of what you and your family have

:02:54. > :03:00.achieved for us and we are immensely proud for you.

:03:00. > :03:05.Majesty the Queen has been such a constant in British life and has

:03:05. > :03:09.done such an amazing job in representing our country. Thanks

:03:09. > :03:13.for the great memories I have will, the experiences of the great horses

:03:13. > :03:18.I have ridden for you. I hope the Diamond Jubilee is the beginning of

:03:18. > :03:22.many years to come. I loo woo like to say from me, Victoria and our

:03:22. > :03:29.whole family and the whole country, congratulations Your Majesty.

:03:29. > :03:38.you for being a very important part of my life over all the years. And

:03:38. > :03:42.for for keeping a cool head in difficult times. What's going on

:03:42. > :03:45.Your Majesty? It is Diversity here. We want to say congratulations on

:03:45. > :03:49.your Diamond Jubilee and thank you so much for giving us the

:03:49. > :03:55.inspiration and the drive to reach the Royal Variety Show and to

:03:55. > :03:59.perform in front of you, as that has changed our lives. We've got a

:03:59. > :04:03.couple of tickets for the tour if you want to come down and watch.
