During one part of the
parade, the royal cousins suddenly broke into dance as they showed off their
moves – much to the delight of royal watchers. The pair, who were sitting with
their children, were seen bopping their heads and pretending to play on drums.
Zara, 41, watched the pageant
with three-year-old daughter Lena on her lap, while her other daughter Mia,
eight, sat on her dad Mike Tindall’s lap and had her arm around his neck.
However, it was Prince Louis
who almost stole the show. The youngest child of Prince William and Kate moved
around a little, cosying up to both his parents and his grandfather, Prince
Charles. At one point, Charles rocked his four-year-old grandson from side to
side on his lap.
Towards the end of the
pageant, the Queen rounded off her Platinum Jubilee celebrations with an
appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony. Her Majesty took centre stage on
the iconic balcony, standing alongside her heirs; Prince Charles, Prince
William and great-grandchild George for the last balcony appearance of the
four-day celebration.
It was no doubt a special
moment for the Queen as she was joined by the immediate line of succession, and
two wives as future consorts.

The Queen, 96, delighted fans
with her arrival, which followed a spectacular Pageant that proceeded from
Horse Guards, along Whitehall to Admiralty Arch and down The Mall to Buckingham
Palace. She was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the crowd and a rendition
of the national anthem.
Featuring giant puppets, the
Gold State Coach, and a host of celebrities, the event saw the very best of
music, theatre, street arts, carnival and costume join together to tell the
story of the monarch’s 70-year reign.
