There were gun-salutes all around the city, including at the Tower of London, and celebratory menus often included roast beef and Christmas pudding”.
Meanwhile, Sandringham, where The Queen spent her historic Jubilee ended the day with a rather appropriate photo, showing a rainbow above the estate.
