And the Royal Parks added: 'Crowds have flocked to St James's Park for Trooping the Colour and public viewing areas are now at full capacity. Please do not head to St James's Park but enjoy the Jubilee celebrations elsewhere.'

Meanwhile the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said in a tweet on their official account this morning: 'We're looking forward to celebrating and seeing how you're joining us in marking this #PlatinumJubilee weekend.'

As four days of bank holiday celebrations begin, it can be revealed:

  • The Queen will make a surprise appearance at Windsor Castle tonight, lighting the Principal Platinum Jubilee Beacon in a special 'dual ceremony' with Buckingham Palace;
  • While an olive branch has been extended to the Sussexes, there is further shame for Prince Andrew who is the only family member not to attend Trooping the Colour;
  • Celebrities have taken a back seat in the Birthday Honours, which this year salute Britain's Platinum Jubilee heroes, reflecting the Queen's own values of long-standing public service;
  • Famous names who have been listed, such as actor Damian Lewis, footballer Rio Ferdinand and author Ian Rankin, have received gongs noting their charity work;
  • Royal fans from around the world have gathered along The Mall leading to Buckingham Palace for a bonanza long weekend which will give the hospitality industry a £2billion boost;
  • Those attending Trooping the Colour are set to enjoy sunny skies, with highs of 20C (68F).

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been invited by the Queen to join family members watching the spectacular military event from the Major General's Office overlooking the Whitehall parade ground.

The group will not include the Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge or the Princess Royal.

All you need to know about Trooping the Colour in London today

The four-day Jubilee celebration kicks off with the lavish Queen's Birthday Parade today. Here is the schedule:

  • Starting at 10am at Buckingham Palace, it snakes down The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, with members of the Royal Family on horseback and in carriages joining at around 10.30am.
  • Event turns into traditional Trooping the Colour which has marked the monarch's official birthday for 260 years.
  • The colour is being trooped by the 1st Battalion, Irish Guards - Prince William is Colonel of the Regiment - with up to 1,450 officers and soldiers from the Household Division putting on an extravagant display of military pageantry, together with 400 Army musicians and around 240 horses.
  • Royal Gun Salute. 12.52am: 82 rounds in Hyde Park. 1pm: 124 rounds at the Tower of London.
  • After parade, royals flank the Queen on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch a special 70-aircraft RAF flypast. Prince Andrew and the Sussexes are not invited to the line-up, which comprises: The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children, The Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children, The Princess Royal and Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra.

WHERE TO WATCH

Public can watch spectacle from The Mall – lined with 200 soldiers from the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards – or on large screens in nearby St James's Park, Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh or Bute Park in Cardiff.

 

Her Majesty will remain at Buckingham Palace where she will take the returning cavalry's salute from the balcony there.

Charles will be taking the salute as the Colour of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards is trooped and inspect the Troops of the Household Division on the monarch's behalf.

He will be joined by his elder son and sister, with all three on horseback.

The Duchess of Cornwall, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Wessex and many other royals will travel to Horse Guards Parade from the palace in carriages.

They will then disembark and watch the rest of the event from the Major General's Office alongside Harry and Meghan, who will arrive by car.

The large royal party will also include all grandchildren of the Queen and their spouses.

As well as the Sussexes there will be Princess Beatrice and her husband Edo, Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack and Anne's children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, and their families.

Meghan will not have seen any of the family since she and her husband acrimoniously quit as working royals and moved to North America in early 2020, while the prince only saw them very briefly at the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral last year.

The last public occasion the Sussexes attended together in the UK was the annual Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in March 2020 when the atmosphere could not have been more awkward.

William and Kate virtually blanked Harry and Meghan that day, leaving Prince Edward and Sophie to try to keep the peace.

Fortunately William, who has been most deeply affected by his brother's actions and has struggled to hide his hurt, will not be forced to greet the couple in public.

And Kate proved to be an admirable peacemaker when she made a point of breaking the ice and speaking to Harry after the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral.

Harry and Meghan are staying with their children at their Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage.

They had always been expected to join the congregation for tomorrow's service of thanksgiving for the Queen's 70-year reign at St Paul's Cathedral, but their participation with Trooping is seen as an additional olive branch from Her Majesty.

Ahead of four days of global festivities, the monarch, 96, also said Britain should be proud of its achievements across the 70 years of her historic reign.

Buckingham Palace also released a glorious new portrait taken just last week to mark the occasion, showing the sovereign looking bright and cheerful at Windsor Castle.

In her special message to the nation the Queen emphasises that she wants festivities to unite the nation, rather than to celebrate her personally.

Thanking everyone across the UK and the Commonwealth who has been involved in organising events for the Jubilee, she adds: 'I know that many happy memories will be created at these festive occasions.'

She goes on to say that she hopes 'the coming days will provide an opportunity to reflect on all that has been achieved during the last seventy years'.

Her Majesty looks elegant in a blue-grey wool Charmelaine Angela Kelly coat and dress for her specially commissioned portrait, taken by Ranald Mackechnie.

She will make three public appearances today. First, she will take the salute at Trooping the Colour on the balcony at Buckingham Palace.
