After listening to a final rendition of the national anthem the family headed inside, but not before a customary royal wave, which Charlotte eagerly joined in on.
Kate Middleton also dazzled on the Queen's big day in a pink dress by Alexander McQueen and hat by Jane Taylor. She was captured frolicking with the young Royals as their great-grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, glanced lovingly on.
