This colourful parade was the final part of four days of platinum jubilee celebrations of the Queen's 70 year rule.

It began with the gold coach which had been used at her coronation.

Behind this came hundreds of scenes which featured music, dancing and fashion from across the years, which demonstrated the changing face of British society.

£15 million was spent on the parade, which included over 10,000 people from the UK and the Commonwealth.

The four-day celebration brought hundreds of thousands of people into central London from across the world.

All were keen to see the public events and the royal family.

Kim Darcy had come from California.

Old age stopped the Queen, who's 96, from being at some of the celebrations.

However, she made a surprise appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the end of the parade, where she was joined by three future kings.

It was an incredible moment for Tim Lunze from Germany.

Many felt the Queen's appearance on the balcony was the perfect ending.

Colin Hewitt from Manchester agreed.
