From Ed Sheeran to Elton John, the Queen’s Jubilee is being celebrated with a party

• Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration is in full swing 
• The event will be a star studded, where Diana Ross, Ed Sheran, Opera singer Andrea Bocelli and many more artists will be performing 
• The Queen will not attend a 2.5 hour long concert but will watch it on Television from Windsor Castle

On Saturday, 22,000 people were anticipated to attend a musical celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s historic Platinum Jubilee, with millions more expecting at home.

The “Platinum Party at the Palace” is the centrepiece of the third day of public celebrations marking the 96-year-old monarch’s unprecedented 70-year reign.

Diana Ross, a Motown superstar, will perform on a purpose-built 360-degree platform outside the head of state’s central London residence, Buckingham Palace.

In a striking departure from the jubilee’s first two days, the event also features Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli and James Bond composer Hans Zimmer.

The pomp and ceremony of the Trooping the Colour military procession marked the sovereign’s formal birthday on Thursday.

The highlight on Friday was a traditional Church of England thanksgiving service led by senior royals – including the homecoming of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan – in the hallowed environs of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Saturday’s show, which will be aired live, will be no less spectacular.

However, because this is an open-air event, all eyes will be on the sky and the unpredictable British weather to see if the predicted downpours hold off.

The queen, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, is not anticipated to attend the 2.5-hour concert but will watch it on television from Windsor Castle.

On Thursday, she addressed large audiences from the Buckingham Palace balcony and then went to Windsor for a beacon-lighting ceremony.

Buckingham Palace claimed the exertion placed Queen in “some pain” after months of facing difficulties walking and standing.

More than 10 million people will enjoy meals at “Big Jubilee Lunch” picnics on Sunday, as well as a musical and artistic public pageant featuring 10,000 individuals.

Ed Sheeran will round off the celebrations on Sunday, singing his 2017 hit “Perfect” at the end of the pageant.

The “Shape of You” singer-songwriter, 31, has said the “Party at the Palace” to mark the queen´s Golden Jubilee in 2002 inspired his musical career.

Other performers on Saturday include Alicia Keys, Craig David and Rod Stewart, Queen + Adam Lambert, George Ezra and Eurovision 2022 runner-up Sam Ryder.
