Prince Charles and Prince William will speak in honour of the Queen at a special concert tonight as part of the #PlatinumJubilee celebrations 👑

They will make their tribute at the open-air show being held in front of Buckingham Palace 🎤

Let's discuss👇

Celebrity acts taking part include Diana Ross, Queen + Adam Lambert, Alicia Keys, Hans Zimmer, George Ezra, and Eurovision 2022 runner-up Sam Ryder – with a live crowd of 22,000 people and a television audience of millions 🎤
The Queen herself is not expected to attend the Platinum Party at the Palace concert but will confirm on the day if she will make any public appearances.

Yesterday, she said she would not be able to attend the thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral. Picture: Getty
Her majesty said she had experienced some discomfort on the first day of celebrations on Thursday when she waved at crowds from the Buckingham Palace balcony and led the beacon lighting ceremony 🎇
The Duchess of Cambridge said later the Queen had enjoyed Thursday’s celebrations but the day had been ‘very tiring’.

The keen horse-racing fan will also not attend today’s Epsom Derby Day, but watch it on TV from Windsor 🐴 📺 Picture: Getty Images
The Princess Royal will be attending in her absence.

The track intends to honour the monarch with 40 jockeys who have ridden for her (she owns and breeds race horses) donning the royal silks to form a guard of honour, while a number of her former racehorses will parade 🐴
The Party at the Palace will be set on three stages in front of the Queen’s London residence.

From one queen to another, diva Diana Ross will close the two-and-a-half-hour show with her first UK live performance in 15 years 🎤 Picture: Getty
Stars also set to feature include:

🎾 Emma Raducanu
🦕 Sir David Attenborough
⚽️ David Beckham
🎭 Stephen Fry
🎤 Sir Elton John
The evening will highlight global themes that have emerged or evolved during the Queen’s reign including British and Commonwealth contributions in the fields of fashion, sport, the environment and pop music

It is set to be a star-studded event ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex introduced their daughter to the monarch, who was nicknamed Lilibet as a child, yesterday at Windsor Castle.

The event was held behind closed doors following the Trooping the Colour, when thousands of people descended onto the Mall. PA/Reuters
Lilibet turns one tomorrow – but photos from a birthday party being held at Frogmore cottage are not expected.

Harry and Meghan are said to want to keep a low profile this weekend to avoid overshadowing the Queen.

Having vaulted the metal fence, he sat down near Buckingham Palace as the marching band approached – only for officers to forcibly drag him through the mess, leaving an unfortunate stain on his trousers 💩

Pictures show the incident in grim detail 👇 Picture: LNP
But activists got their message across with a series of signs and placards, some saying ‘Reclaim Royal land’.

The demonstrators have been calling for the Crown – one of the largest landowners in the country – to rewild their land 👑

Lois Walker had stomach pain for more than 12 months.

However, it wasn’t until her son Ray was born by a caesarean section that she was diagnosed with stage four cancer.

Let's discuss 👇

Lois made numerous calls to her GP and even visited A&E several times during lockdown, but was given anxiety medication and told to avoid dairy.

When surgeons delivered her son via c-section, they found cancer in her ovaries, the lining of her abdomen and her lymph nodes.
Lois, a buyer at an engineering firm, said:

🗣 'It’s been absolutely diabolical. They call themselves health professionals, and they’re supposed to be giving us care, but that is negligence.' Picture: Lois Walker / SWNS
