The Queen has appeared as a hologram waving to the crowds from the Gold State Coach during the London street pageant which also featured an eclectic mix of dancers, daleks and Danger Mouse.
In one of the main highlights of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the coach, flanked by guardsmen on horseback, featured archival footage of Her Majesty, making it seem as if she was inside.
The same 260-year-old carriage had taken her to and from her coronation in 1953.
The three-kilometre parade, which went past Buckingham Palace, was divided into four acts, the first featuring a military procession.
Around 10,000 people were involved, including a cast of 6,000 performers, and also a vast array of celebrities on the fourth and final day of the jubilee weekend marking the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
The Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge along with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, were among the dignitaries in the royal box to watch the festivities.
The Queen, 96, was not there but royal fans were later treated to an appearance by her on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the culmination of the extended bank holiday weekend.
Guardsmen, Gurkhas, Royal Marines and the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment in their breastplates and plumed feathers were among the hundreds of servicemen and women who led the way marching along the streets.
