Platinum Jubilee: Royal family attend Service of Thanksgiving in London without Queen
Friday 3 June marks the second day of the Queen’s platinum jubilee weekend, which began on Thursday with the Trooping the Colour parade.
A Service of Thanksgiving for Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign took place at St Paul’s Cathedral in London bringing together most members of the royal family.

The Queen watched the ceremony on television as she rested at Windsor Castle and The Prince of Wales stepped in to represent his mother.
