See How London Celebrates This Unprecedented Milestone Event.

It's a party the likes the world has never seen…and likely will never see again. And whether you are a royal lover or not, it makes absolutely no difference. Because no one can deny the incredible lifelong dedication Queen Elizabeth II has given to her country. Seventy years ago, Princess Elizabeth, at the age of 25, became Queen. For those of you that don't get this significance, let me help you out.

In the history of the British monarchy, and it goes back, well, forever, there has never been a King or Queen sitting on the throne for this extraordinary length of time. To put this into layman's terms, the Queen is still working at her job a whopping thirty years past the age when most people have retired. That, my friends, is service.

Furthermore, this reign of extraordinary length is unlikely ever to come again. And if it does, it won't be before our grandchildren's, grandchildren's lifetimes…and even then, I would not bet on it.

So to celebrate this historical event, the entire Kingdom has come out to celebrate, and celebrate they did. And although this girl could not be everywhere…I damn well did my best.

So hang the bunting, wave the flags, and raise your

glasses. See how London is Celebrating

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Trooping of Colour

The festivities officially kick off with the Trooping Of Colour, a grand traditional military parade with all the pomp and grandeur you'd expect from Buckingham Palace.

More than 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians come together in this colourful parade, joined by members of the Royal family on horseback or in carriages.

The event ends with an impressive Royal Air Force flyover.

The Lighting of Beacons

For the first time ever, across the country and the capital cities of the Commonwealth nations, beacons were lit to mark this historic occasion.

Street Parties.

Whether big or small, neighbourhoods hung the red, white and blue bunting and celebrated the Queen's Jubilee with music, food, and friendly cheer.

Long decorated tables stretched down the street as people came out of their houses with potato salads, tea sandwiches, and creative Victoria sponge masterpieces. Baking competitions were in full force for the most patriotic dessert.

Platinum Jubilee Concert

This had to be my personal highlight. Even hours before the concert officially kicked off, thousands of us filled The Mall, just beyond Buckingham Palace, and joyfully sang along to I Got A Feeling and Sweet Caroline.

Adam Lambert and Queen (the band not the Monarch) kicked off the star-studded event. They were followed by superstars like Rod Stewart, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Duran Duran, Andrea Boccelli, Alicia Keys, Elton John and Diana Ross, to name a few.

But the star of the show had to be the incredible projections and light show that bounced off Buckingham Palace. It was spectacular, a word I don't throw around loosely. I was utterly in awe, and honestly, it takes a lot to impress me.

Queen's Jubilee Pageant

The last day saw a colourful parade paying tribute to the Queen's last 70 years. It started with the largest military parade in British history. Antique cars, costumes, puppets, and decked-out doubledecker buses representing all the various decades followed closely behind the Queen's royal guards. Although I tried, I arrived too late, so I could not get close to the parade route.

So I joined the thousands in the various Royal Parks and watched it on the giant screens. Good thing, too, as without the commentary, I'd be hard pressed to tell you who most of those British "celebs" were. Although Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell I could pick out in the crowd.

It ended with Ed Sheeren singing You Look Beautiful Tonight, followed closely by the Queen and her three generations of heirs walking out from the Buckingham Palace balcony for one more royal wave.

With the millions of people that took part in this 4-day celebration, there were no incidences of violence that I read about, only love, joy and celebration marking an event that I felt extremely fortunate to be part of.

As I stood surrounded by tens of thousands of people dressed in various playful Union Jack attire, I thought that this had not only brought out the absolute best of the British public, it was something we all desperately needed.

For although we all might come from different nooks and crannies from around this vast planet of ours, at that moment in time, we all had one thing in common…we were all Londoners.
