"We give you thanks and praise that you have blessed this nation, the realms and territories with Elizabeth, our beloved and glorious queen.'

On Monday night, a three-hour concert was held in front of Buckingham Palace.

The Queen chatted with members of the star-studded audience including Paul McCartney, Elton John and Stevie Wonder.

Millions have turned out for the Queen's Jubilee.

Some Jubilee enthusiasts camped out all night in front of Buckingham Palace to see the last day of celebrations on Tuesday.

Amid the excitement, polls suggest the crown and the queen herself are more popular than they have been for decades.
