Queen joins heirs Charles, William and George on balcony in grand Jubilee finale

The Queen appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony alongside her future heirs, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Louis as the family round off Jubilee celebrations.

They were also joined by Camilla, the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis as they waved to the thousands in the crowd to celebrate Her Majesty's historical Platinum Jubilee Celebrations.

The crowd went wild with applause as the Firm stepped out onto the balcony for their speedy visit, which only lasted three minutes, as they waved to the crowd which was filled with Union Jack flags.

The Monarch was dressed in a bright green coat with a matching hat and using her walking stick on the chilly London afternoon, as she watched on as people sang the National Anthem.

It's the Monarch's third balcony appearance of the four-day weekend and comes after she was forced to pull out of Friday's Service of Thanksgiving and the Epsom Derby yesterday, writes the Mirror.

Charles, William and Charles looked smart in suits and ties, while Kate looked stunning in a bright pink frock. Camilla and Charlotte dressed in white while Louis wore a black coat.

The royal finale comes at the end of a spectacular People's Pageant, which saw thousands of members of the public and celebrity national treasures parade around Buckingham Palace in fancy dress symbolising the seven decades of the Queen's reign.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were among the special guests who watched the event from the royal box.

They sat in the front row with parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. After stealing the show at Trooping of the Colour on Thursday with his incredible facial expressions, Louis once again entertained crowds by mucking about with the other young royals. He could be seen playing with his cushion, covering his eyes and dancing in his seat.

He was also seen tucking into some chocolate and covering his mum Kate's mouth with his hand.

Princess Eugenie could be seen bouncing son one-year-old son August, dressed in a Union flag jumper, on her knee.

Before their appearance, Ed Sheeran took to the stage to perform a few of his hits before singing the National Anthem.

The pageant included seven open-top buses filled representing different decades of the Queen's reign.

Sir Cliff Richard, Katherine Jenkins and Bonnie Langford were on the 1950s bus alongside Gloria Hunniford and other celebrities.

Bear Grylls also appeared alongside his son in a Land Rover Defender.

Gary Lineker joked it is a “career highlight” to be on the same bus as Pudsey Bear for the event.

Shirley Ballas has said the atmosphere was “electric” on the 1970s bus, on which she joined Angela Rippon and Heather Small as well as Emmerdale star Patrick Mower and comedian Lee Mack.

Fashion royalty Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell led stars on the 1990s bus, which was designed in a denim style with badges. Courtney Love and Vanessa Mae were also on board.

She said: “The atmosphere is absolutely electric, people are really responding. Everyone in the bus is having an absolute ball.”

Cyclists including Sir Chris Hoy, Dame Laura Kenny and Sir Jason Kenny cycled up The Mall as part of the pageant, followed by a peloton of 300 cyclists riding vintage bikes from across the seven decades of the Queen’s reign.

Seven decades of James Bond cars and a fleet of Morris Minors, of all different colours, were driven up the Mall as well.
