The Queen and most of the Royal Family today attended a special service at Westminster Abbey to mark the 60th anniversary of her coronation in 1953.
Her husband Prince Philip was also able to accompany his wife to the event, despite having to withdraw from an engagement with her last night due to illness.
Outside the church crowds of well-wishers wearing red, white and blue and waving flags enthusiastically cheered Britain's monarch, 60 years since she was crowned at the Abbey.
The Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and more than 20 royals, including the heavily pregnant Duchess of Cambridge and her husband Prince William attended the religious service. It is the first time the couple, whose first baby is due next month, have attended a public event at the church since they married there two years ago.
The service had several elements that mirrored the Queen's coronation, and the Crown Jewels, including the majestic St Edward's Crown, were taken from the Tower of London and placed on the Abbey's altar - the first time they had been there since she was crowned on June 2, 1953.
