The Queen has become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of service.
National celebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend include a star-studded pop concert, a carnival pageant and the lighting of thousands of beacons across the world.
The Queen is said to be looking forward to the ambitious commemorations, which have been years in the making.
At the age of 96 the Queen has mobility issues, and now uses a walking stick.
Buckingham Palace has said her presence at the Jubilee events may not be confirmed until the day.
