Before Ross appeared, Prince Charles made a joke about the audience cheering loud enough for the Queen to hear them in Windsor. In the unlikely event that she could, you did wonder if the noise might have disturbed her while she was busy watching something else. There was fun to be had watching the audience looking utterly baffled by Stefflon Don – this visibly wasn’t the Brexit they voted for – although even the most ardent republican might be forced to admit that the breakout stars of the TV coverage were Prince George and Princess Charlotte, eight and seven years old and visibly bored senseless by the whole thing: you were struck by the feeling that their parents might just give in and hand them their iPads at any moment. This time, she gamely took part in a sketch with Paddington Bear, tapping out the rhythm of Queen’s We Will Rock You on a teacup before Queen themselves appeared – Brian May, clad in a jacket covered in drawings of badgers, performing on a hydraulic platform – but didn’t show up in person at all, which was a surprise: what apparently poorly 96-year-old wouldn’t want to spend an evening watching Jax Jones and Sigala?

The Jubilee celebrations continue with the Platinum Party at the Palace Concert. Here, the best photos of the royal family from the event.

Here's a candid shot of Kate talking to her kiddos. It's been a big day for the Cambridge kids! "I have had the honor of meeting The Queen many times throughout my life, including when I was with my family," Ross said in a statement. The Sussexes do not appear to be in attendance at the party this evening. After marking the Queen's 70-year reign with a parade, a church service, and a royal tour of the nations of the United Kingdom, the royal family is heading to a concert tonight: the Platinum Party at the Palace. The event tonight features an all-star lineup. Today marks their daughter Lili's first birthday, and it is understood that they are spending the day privately.

All of you watching at home… You are our head of state and you are also our mother. That is why we are here. “I know what gets my mother up in the morning is all of you, ladies and gentlemen. Charles, the monarch’s eldest son, stood on stage alongside his wife the Duchess of Cornwall, made a personal tribute to his mother. My papa would have enjoyed the show, and would have joined us wholeheartedly in celebrating all that you continue to do for your country and your people.

Alicia Keys, Diana Ross and Sam Ryder took to the stage, but the Royal Family were the real stars.

We do know her favourite songs predate the rock era. There were also a couple of references to politics. And so, to my surprise, was the moment that drones floating above Buckingham Palace created an image of the Queen's beloved corgis. Immediately afterwards, Queen (the band) kicked off the music in style, embellishing We Will Rock You with military pomp, courtesy of the Royal Marine Drummers. "Is this girl on fire?" At most pop concerts, the audience don't turn their backs on the stage.

From a cameo by Paddington Bear, to Diana Ross's showstopping closing performance, here's everything you need to know about tonight's concert at Buckingham ...

The form that came in, though, was a little more unexpected. A variety show featuring pop royalty (hello Diana Ross and Elton John), military drummers, DJ acts, musical theater performances, and even a cameo from Paddington Bear, the concert was held at the Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace to a crowd of 22,000 people. The four-day celebrations surrounding the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this weekend have been marked by their pomp and pageantry—but even so, in terms of sheer spectacle, nothing was going to rival tonight’s Party at the Palace.
