Britain enjoyed a four-day long weekend allowing her citizens to celebrate the Queen’s 70th anniversary on the throne. From the trooping of the colour and national service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral to a star-studded party in the Palace the festivities brought together the entire nation in appreciation of a service which has spanned three score years and ten. Hundreds of thousands of people poured into London from all corners of the United Kingdom, while countless others had travelled from across the world to be part of this once in a lifetime celebration.
