Platinum Jubilee: nation celebrates Queen’s reign with Trooping the Colour parade

The UK has begun a 4-day bank holiday to mark Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee after her 70 years on the throne.

People across the nation have been celebrating the monarch’s milestone as the Queen and her family observed the Trooping the Colour procession in London.

Organisational chaos dogged the start of the celebrations, and a protest by the climate group Animal Rebellion was thwarted my Met police.
