The last stage of the four-day Golden Jubilee weekend in London saw a large, vibrant parade on The Mall that represented various aspects of British and Commonwealth culture and history. It was watched by the royal family, seated on a dais by the Victoria Memorial. After the unveiling of a specially designed, Commonwealth-themed balcony hanging, The Queen and her relatives appeared on the famous Buckingham Palace balcony. They were serenaded by the choir and the crowd with songs including 'We'll Keep A Welcome' and 'Land of Hope and Glory', while Concorde, the Red Arrows and other aircraft honoured Her Majesty with a fly-past.
