The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebration at Windsor Castle aired on ITV on Sunday night ahead of the monarch's official celebrations at the start of June. The star-studded event wrapped up a weekend of performances in the grounds of Windsor Castle - and Her Majesty herself was in attendance.
The Queen was honoured with a standing ovation as her Platinum Jubilee celebrations kicked off with an equestrian extravaganza featuring some of the world’s leading performers. Hosted by Phillip Schofield and Julie Etchingham, the special event aired live on ITV which featured Hollywood actors Tom Cruise and Dame Helen Mirren, once again playing a queen of England, who led the cast of entertainers who appeared in the first major event marking the Queen’s 70-year reign.
The audience, thought to be of 4,000, rose to their feet applauding and cheering when the monarch arrived at the arena close to Windsor Castle for the musical and theatrical romp across the centuries called A Gallop Through History. The performance was staged by the Royal Windsor Horse Show and has been welcoming spectators for the past three days.

The Queen, who turned 96 earlier this year, even had a brilliant response to Omid Djalili, who acted as the narrator for the event, who could not resist a joke and said to the monarch: "Thank you for choosing us over the State Opening of Parliament," after the head of state withdrew from attending last week and sent Prince Charles in her place.
However, those tuning in to the live coverage were unimpressed to discover that it wasn't all happening there and then and felt the broadcaster had made a 'mess' of covering the event. @wendywooto tweeted:
