A City of London Livery companies lunch at Westminster Hall willfollow, after which the royals will take part in a carriageprocession through Whitehall. Guests will dine on salmon, followed by Welsh lamb, grilled Isle ofWight asparagus, Jersey Royal potatoes and chocolate delice, breadand butter pudding and berry compote with apple sauce. Personnel from all three armed services will line the streets forthe procession, and the King's Troop will fire a 60-gunsalute. As the royals arrive back in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace,there will be a guard of honor. They will then gather on thebalcony to watch a fly-past of World War II aircraft and a displayby the Red Arrows.
Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess ofCambridge, and Prince Harry are among the royal family membersinvolved in the events. Forecasters say the weather in central London will be cloudy anddry at first, with a top temperature of 14C, but there may beoutbreaks of rain in the afternoon. Prince Philip, 90, will remain under observation at King Edward VIIHospital in London, where he was taken on Monday as a"precautionary measure". In December, he was treated at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge for ablocked coronary artery. At the concert on Monday night, attended by 12,000 people, PrinceCharles paid tribute to his mother, describing her as"mummy" and a "very special person".
But he added there was a disappointing edge to the night. "The only sad thing about this evening is that my fathercouldn't be with us because, unfortunately, he was takenill," Prince Charles said. Take That star Gary Barlow, who helped organize much of the concertand sang a duet with Cheryl Cole, said the prince's illnesswas "sad, really sad". Robbie Williams opened the show with Let Me Entertain You and was the first to perform for the Queen when he sang big bandclassic Mack the Knife . Other performers included Kylie Minogue, Jessie J, Annie Lennox , Sir Tom Jones, Madness, Stevie Wonder and Sir Cliff Richard – singing a medley of his songs from six different decades.
The concert was brought to a close by Sir Paul McCartney who played hits including Magical Mystery Tour , Let It Be and a rendition of Live and Let Die , complete with fireworks and pyrotechnics. After the show, the Queen pressed a diamond-shaped crystal into apod, igniting a beacon in The Mall to mark her 60 years on thethrone. It was one of more than 4,000 lit across the UK and theCommonwealth.
