Prince Charles and Prince William gave addresses at the event on Saturday evening, with Charles paying respect to the Queen and her seven-decade tenure on the throne.

Its viewership outperforms several other recent high-profile events, including the Strictly Come Dancing final in December, the Eurovision Song Contest last month, and the Queen’s Christmas message, which had an audience of 8.96 million.

The Queen, who is suffering from mobility issues in recent months, was unable to attend the celebration.

It all started with a pre-recorded comedy sketch of her drinking a cup of tea with Paddington Bear, during which they both admitted to carrying a marmalade sandwich about with them.

On the final day of the Platinum Jubilee street parties and celebrations around the UK, an estimated ten million people are anticipated to attend.

Over 85,000 people registered to host Big Jubilee Lunches. On Sunday morning, Prince Charles and Camilla attended a cricket match at the Oval cricket ground in south London.
