In 1805, the custom of Trooping the Colour to honour the sovereign's birthday was first adopted, however, it lapsed soon afterwards. Charles was followed by the Duke of Cambridge.

Mr Fry said: "He did tell me ‒ I think it's ok to repeat this ‒ the Prince of Wales did tell me once that the best piece of advice his father had ever given him was: when you’re doing a lineup and there are women, always look only into their eyes. Mr Fry said he explained to Charles that Prince Albert is "a piece of intimate jewellery.” "And he got to them and the first thing Emma Bunton said to him was: ‘Oh sir, sir, hi miss sir, do you have a Prince Albert?’

They were there to watch as the British Royal Air Force planes roared overhead to kick off four days of celebration for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.

The UK will host several activities for royal supporters and her famous family to celebrate.

The hefty tiara is only used for the crowning portion of the commemoration. The crucifix is garnished with an eye-popping medley of diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphire, pearls and amethysts. Hartnell reportedly presented her majesty with nine different designs to choose from in October 1952 before the frock went into production. I’ve seen one coronation and been the recipient in the other, which is pretty remarkable,” the queen added. He was the first child and heir-apparent of a reigning monarch to attend a royal inauguration. Some 8,000 guests attended alongside Churchill, including representatives from the royal families of Sweden, Japan and Denmark, plus delegates from 129 countries. That part of the ceremony was done privately, with Elizabeth removing her dark, burgundy cloak and then sitting on King Edward’s chair. It was a rainy Tuesday morning when masses of spectators arrived at the Westminster Abbey gates to watch Elizabeth and Philip make their grand entrance. “The ceremonies you have seen today are ancient, and some of their origins are veiled in the mists of the past. “I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine.

For example the gold braid (aiguillette) signifies that they are an Aide-de-Camp to The Queen. The blue riband and one of the metal stars represent the Order of the Garter. The main difference and easiest way to tell the two uniforms apart is by the placement and colour of the hackle (plume) in the bearskin.

The pair both ride behind The Queen and will take the salute this year as Her Majesty is not playing as much of an active role for the first time in 70 years. While the celebrations kick off on June 2 to mark the anniversary of the date of The Queen's coronation, the festivities will be ongoing until June 5.

What could be more British than watching wheeler dealer Mick Carter pouring Prince Charles a glass of lukewarm Cava in the rain?

What could be more British than watching wheeler dealer Mick Carter pouring Prince Charles a glass of lukewarm Cava in the rain? In reality, the heir apparent was shown around the set by Sue Nicholls who (still) plays Audrey Roberts on a visit to the old Granada Studios in Manchester – later, producers asked Kensington Palace for permission to use the photos of his visit in the live broadcast as part of a news bulletin. They’ve been around for most of our lives and tell relatable, important stories with wit and pathos; they’re a near-daily source of laughter and drama. In the 70 years since her coronation, the Royal Family have embraced and celebrated the country’s soaps – it’s made them more relatable, good-humored, in touch with what is important to us as a nation (even if that is Janine Butcher pushing her husband Barry off a cliff).

It may seem like a strange way to celebrate 70 years of the Queen’s reign – is EastEnders, a TV drama that popularised the (iconic) phrase “I didn’t just become a little bit of a slag, I became a total slag” really the place to celebrate such a momentous, once-in-a-lifetime occasion?
