The weather may have been gloomy and a few of the main events of the celebratory day (like the flypast) cancelled, but that didn’t stop around one million people from lining the Thames on Sunday to celebrate the Queen’s diamond jubilee via the River Pageant.
The nation looked on as around 1,000 boats escorted Queen Elizabeth and the senior members of the royal family down the River Thames; it was a new world record for the number of boats taking part in a parade, according to the Daily Mail.
The London Philharmonic Orchestra played ‘Singing in the Rain’ as the royals traveled down the river, and they played ‘Rule Britannia’ and ‘God Save The Queen’ at Tower Bridge, before a fireworks display.
