- Story Text:A beaming Queen Elizabeth waved to cheering crowds as the royals watched a fly-past from Buckingham Palace's balcony on Thursday (June 2) as Britain kicked off four days of celebrations for her record-breaking 70 years on the British throne.
The queen's great-grandchildren waved as the modern and historic Royal Air Force planes roared past overhead.
Elizabeth, holding a walking stick and wearing a dusky dove blue outfit that she also wore for an official Jubilee photograph released on Thursday, was joined by her son and heir Prince Charles, 73, and other senior royals on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Elizabeth has been on the throne for longer than any of her predecessors and is the third-longest reigning monarch ever of a sovereign state.
Thursday marks not only the start of the Jubilee but also the 69th anniversary of the coronation of Elizabeth, who became queen on the death of her father George VI in February 1952.
