stage to pay a moving tribute to the Queen at the Jubilee concert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here is the full text of his address:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Your Majesty, Mummy,<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The scale of this evening&#8217;s celebration &#8211; and the outpouring of warmth and affection over this whole Jubilee weekend &#8211; is our way of saying thank you, thank you from your family, the country, the Commonwealth, in fact the whole world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;On behalf of us all, I wanted to pay my own tribute to your lifetime of selfless service, in pictures, in words and in light.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Your family now spans four generations. You are our Head of State. And you are also our mother.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Your &#8216;strength and stay&#8217; is much missed this evening but I am sure he is here in spirit&#8230; My Papa would have enjoyed the show and joined us wholeheartedly in celebrating all you continue to do for your country and your people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Looking back, we think of the countless State occasions that are milestones along this nation&#8217;s road. And you will think of red boxes, filled with Government papers, at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You will remember those who have led this country. Indeed, all the countries you serve. And leaders across the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;How things have changed&#8230; We think of all you have done to make the Commonwealth such an important force for good. You continue to make history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And there was still time for fun amongst the work. We might have been celebrating that Derby winner this evening&#8230; next year perhaps?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But I know what really gets my mother up in the morning is all of you ladies and gentlemen, all of you watching at home. Represented here tonight in this great audience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Your Majesty, you have been with us in our difficult times. And you bring us together to celebrate moments of pride, joy and happiness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Maybe this year it really is coming home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You have met us and talked with us. You laugh and cry with us and, most importantly, you have been there for us, for these 70 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You pledged to serve your whole life &#8211; you continue to deliver. That is why we are here. That is what we celebrate tonight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;These pictures on your house are the story of your life &#8211; and ours. So, Your Majesty, that is why we all say &#8216;thank you&#8217;.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Now, ladies and gentlemen, I know the Queen is watching these celebrations which much emotion, having, I hope, finished her marmalade sandwich, including immense regret that she cannot be here in person with us this evening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But Windsor Castle is barely 20 miles away so if we cheer loudly enough, she might, might just hear us. So let&#8217;s all join together.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last month Camilla told the Mail of her passion and determination to get as many members of the public out to celebrate as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s just wonderful to get people back together again, isn\u2019t it?\u2019 she said. \u2018It\u2019s a lovely way to celebrate, it\u2019s a lovely way to get to know your neighbours and to have a lot of delicious food and chat.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Edward and Sophie will join Berkshire residents for their special lunch on the Long Walk, opposite Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n<p>The Long Walk is being reinvented to create &#8216;the Long Table&#8217; in celebration of the jubilee. This royal pair are also set to meet groups of street performers. The Big Lunch is an annual event aimed at celebrating community connections.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Stewart, executive director of the Eden Project, where the idea for The Big Lunch comes from, told the Daily Mail: \u2018Despite hard copies running out, demand for our digital packs is pushing that number up, so we think our estimates of more than 12million joining in on the weekend is modest.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That\u2019s possible because of National Lottery support and the patronage of HRH Duchess of Cornwall, who has been behind us every step of the way.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Mr Stewart was at pains to stress that people wishing to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee do not have to organise a formal event \u2013 even pulling up a chair and inviting neighbours over for a slice of cake will do.<\/p>\n<p>The important thing, he said, was to stretch out a hand of friendship and be part of a \u2018historical national event\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Two neighbouring villages from adjoining counties are hoping to break the world record for the longest jubilee street party.<\/p>\n<p>Goring, in Oxfordshire, and Streatley, in Berkshire, plan to create a kilometre-long (0.6 mile) celebration, with more than 500 tables spanning the full length of both village high streets.<\/p>\n<p>In Morecambe, Lancashire, the town council\u2019s party will see 300 tables stretched across the famous promenade \u2013 past the famous Eric Morecambe statue unveiled by the Queen in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>Birmingham is hosting a major open-to-all event in its Victoria Square, while in Bognor Regis, on the South Coast, the whole town is being turned into a carnival with big screens.<\/p>\n<p>In Bristol there will be an international celebration, highlighting the Queen\u2019s global popularity. From Preston, where 10,000 people are expected at one event, to Portsmouth, where two events will see live entertainment and bandstand performances, communities are coming together.<\/p>\n<p>The pageant is split into four acts: For Queen and Country with a military parade; The Time of Our Lives progressing through seven decades of culture, music and fashion; Let&#8217;s Celebrate telling the story of the Queen&#8217;s life in 12 chapters with corgi puppets and carnival creations; and the Happy and Glorious musical spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrities will travel in decorated open top double decker buses for the decade-by-decade celebrations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A peloton of 300 cyclists, riding vintage bikes from across the seven decades of the Queen&#8217;s reign, is to travel down The Mall led by Sir Chris Hoy and cycling golden couple Dame Laura and Sir Jason Kenny.<\/p>\n<p>Close to 200 national treasures will take to the stage to serenade the Queen by singing the national anthem at the grand finale of the Platinum Jubilee festivities. Stars including Sir David Jason, Harry Redknapp, Sir Cliff Richard, Sandie Shaw, Felicity Kendal, Joe Wicks and Holly Willoughby will join Ed Sheeran in a mass rendition of God Save The Queen outside Buckingham Palace at the end of the pageant.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, millions up and down the country will gather for 85,000 Big Jubilee Lunches, street parties, picnics and barbecues today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last night the Prince of Wales called the Queen &#8216;Mummy&#8217; and described how\u00a0&#8216;you laugh and cry with us and, most importantly, you have been there for us&#8217; in a moving, personal tribute to Britain&#8217;s longest-serving head of state after the Buckingham Palace concert.<\/p>\n<p>The monarch received affectionate tributes from the Prince of Wales and national figures during Saturday night&#8217;s Platinum Party at the Palace that saw Sir Rod Stewart, Diana Ross and Duran Duran perform for thousands in The Mall.<\/p>\n<h3>Prince William&#8217;s speech at the Platinum Party at the Palace in full\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>The Duke of Cambridge said he shared his grandmother&#8217;s optimism as he paid tribute to the Queen at the Platinum Party at the Palace concert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here is the full text of his address:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s wonderful to be here with you on this incredible night. And great to see Buckingham Palace turned into a giant Imax screen!<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;As I watch those extraordinary images &#8211; it does make me think of all the monumental and pioneering work of so many visionary environmentalists that have gone before.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m so proud that my grandfather and my father have been a part of those efforts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And I&#8217;m in awe of people like the great Sir David Attenborough who look at the beauty and power of our Earth and then work to celebrate and preserve it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think of Rachel Carson from America, Wangari Maathai from Kenya, Sunita Narain from India and so many others.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;While no one&#8217;s grandmother thanks them for talking about their age, my own grandmother has been alive for nearly a century. In that time, mankind has benefited from unimaginable technological developments and scientific breakthroughs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And although those breakthroughs have increased our awareness of the impact humans have on our world, our planet has become more fragile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Today, in 2022 &#8211; as the Queen celebrates her Platinum Jubilee &#8211; the pressing need to protect and restore our planet has never been more urgent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But like her, I am an optimist.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Decades of making the case for taking better care of our world has meant that environmental issues are now at the top of the global agenda.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;More and more businesses and politicians are answering the call. And &#8211; perhaps most inspiringly &#8211; the cause is now being spearheaded by an amazing and united generation of young people across the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Congratulations to all of them &#8211; they won&#8217;t accept the status quo, they won&#8217;t accept that change is too difficult to deliver. Never before have we had so much power to change the big things.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In the past 70 years mankind has put man on the moon. We have built the World Wide Web. And we have developed vaccines and solutions to some of the most life-threatening diseases on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;When humankind focuses its mind, anything is possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s my firm hope that my grandmother&#8217;s words are as true in 70 years&#8217; time as they are tonight that as nations we come together in common cause, because then there is always room for hope.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Tonight has been full of such optimism and joy &#8211; and there is hope. Together, if we harness the very best of humankind, and restore our planet, we will protect it for our children, for our grandchildren and for future generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They will be able to say &#8211; with pride at what&#8217;s been achieved &#8211; &#8216;What a Wonderful World&#8217;.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>And in a comic sketch that delighted the nation, the Queen had tea with Paddington Bear and revealed, like the furry character, she is partial to a marmalade sandwich.<\/p>\n<p>Paying tribute to the monarch after his son the Duke of Cambridge&#8217;s rallying cry for climate change action, Charles, who was joined by his wife Camilla, said: &#8216;You pledged to serve your whole life &#8211; you continue to deliver.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The future king, who began his heartfelt speech with &#8216;Your Majesty, Mummy&#8217; just as he did at the Diamond and Golden Jubilee pop concerts, told the Queen: &#8216;You have been with us in our difficult times. And you bring us together to celebrate moments of pride, joy and happiness.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;You have met us and talked with us. You laugh and cry with us and, most importantly, you have been there for us, for these 70 years. You pledged to serve your whole life &#8211; you continue to deliver. That is why we are here. That is what we celebrate tonight.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Charles reflected on the Queen&#8217;s every-growing family, which now stretches to 12 great-grandchildren, and on her dual role as sovereign and royal matriarch. He said: &#8216;Your family now spans four generations. You are our Head of State. And you are also our mother.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>And in a touching moment, Charles spoke of his &#8216;much missed&#8217; late father the Duke of Edinburgh, calling him &#8216;My Papa&#8217; and saying the Queen&#8217;s late husband Philip was there &#8216;in spirit&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last night the Duke of Cambridge hailed the Platinum Jubilee concert as full of &#8216;optimism and joy&#8217; as he praised the Queen for her &#8216;hope&#8217; in the future of the planet.<\/p>\n<p>William paid tribute to the positive outlook of his grandmother during a segment of the Platinum Party at the Palace dedicated to the environment and featuring Sir David Attenborough.<\/p>\n<p>He echoed the Queen&#8217;s words from her speech to the Cop26 UN Climate Change summit, when she said working together in a &#8216;common cause&#8217; always gave rise to hope.<\/p>\n<p>The duke highlighted the efforts of &#8216;visionary environmentalists&#8217; and went on to name broadcaster and naturalist Sir David and spoke about the pride he felt for &#8216;my grandfather and my father&#8217;, the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince of Wales, who have championed the natural world.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on stage to thousands gathered in The Mall, William said: &#8216;It&#8217;s my firm hope that my grandmother&#8217;s words are as true in 70 years&#8217; time as they are tonight that as nations we come together in common cause, because then there is always room for hope.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Tonight has been full of such optimism and joy &#8211; and there is hope. Together, if we harness the very best of humankind, and restore our planet, we will protect it for our children, for our grandchildren and for future generations to come.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Before the duke spoke, a pre-recorded message from Sir David was played featuring spectacular imagery of the planet with the Hans Zimmer orchestra playing a version of the Planet Earth II Suite as dancers from the Royal Ballet performed.<\/p>\n<p>The crowds heard archive recordings of the Queen speaking about the future of the planet in 1989 during her Christmas Message: &#8216;The future of all life on earth depends on how we behave towards one another and how we treat the plants and animals that share our world with us.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>And an extract from the monarch&#8217;s Cop26 video message speech: &#8216;None of us underestimates the challenge ahead but history has shown that when nations come together in common cause there is always room for hope.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>William said it was &#8216;great to see Buckingham Palace turned into a giant Imax screen&#8217; after video and audio from the Cop26 message was projected on to the London landmark alongside images of Philip and Charles.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to say: &#8216;While no-one&#8217;s grandmother thanks them for talking about their age, my own grandmother has been alive for nearly a century. In that time, mankind has benefited from unimaginable technological developments and scientific breakthroughs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And although those breakthroughs have increased our awareness of the impact humans have on our world, our planet has become more fragile.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/06\/05\/01\/58690517-10885407-Drone_Show_above_Buckingham_Palace_during_the_BBC_s_Platinum_Par-a-17_1654388567984.jpg\" height=\"641\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>Drone Show above Buckingham Palace during the BBC&#8217;s Platinum Party at the Palace spelt &#8216;Thank You Ma&#8217;am&#8217; in tribute to the Queen\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/06\/05\/01\/58690601-10885407-Guy_Garvey_of_Elbow_performs_during_the_Platinum_Party_At_The_Pa-a-19_1654388567985.jpg\" height=\"641\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>Guy Garvey of Elbow performs during the Platinum Party At The Palace<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/06\/05\/01\/58690619-10885407-Andrew_Lloyd_Webber_onstage_during_the_Platinum_Party-a-20_1654388567986.jpg\" height=\"641\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>Andrew Lloyd Webber onstage during the Platinum Party<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/06\/05\/01\/58690625-10885407-A_conductor_prepares_to_guide_his_band_for_Britain_s_national_an-a-21_1654388567986.jpg\" height=\"641\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>A conductor prepares to guide his band for Britain&#8217;s national anthem<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/06\/05\/01\/58690629-10885407-Giles_Terera_performs_songs_from_Hamilton_onstage_during_the_Pla-a-22_1654388567987.jpg\" height=\"641\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>Giles Terera performs songs from Hamilton onstage during the Platinum Party<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/06\/05\/01\/58690649-10885407-Eurovision_sensation_Sam_Ryder_performs_his_hit_song_SPACE_MAN_i-a-23_1654388567987.jpg\" height=\"641\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>Eurovision sensation Sam Ryder performs his hit song SPACE MAN in front of Buckingham Palace<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/06\/05\/01\/58684527-10885407-The_Queen_delighted_millions_of_viewers_when_she_appeared_in_a_s-a-24_1654388567988.jpg\" height=\"619\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>The Queen delighted millions of viewers when she appeared in a surprise comic sketch with Paddington Bear to kick-start the Jubilee concert.

He then initiated a call and response &#8216;ayo&#8217; chant with different sections of the audience, but when it came to the Royal Box, he made the sound they were supposed to repeat impossibly complicated, reducing them all to fits of laughter.<\/p>\n<p>Queen + Adam Lambert delivered an electric opening to the BBC&#8217;s Platinum Party at the Palace concert with a selection of classic hit songs.<\/p>\n<p>The act was introduced in a novel way as the Queen and Paddington bear initiated the beat of Queen&#8217;s We Will Rock You by tapping on China teacups during a special opening film.<\/p>\n<p>American singer Lambert, 40, took to the stage dressed in a black and gold embellished coat to continue the beat alongside the Royal military band.<\/p>\n<p>The rock band&#8217;s guitarist Brian May made another memorable entrance on stage by being raised from beneath the stage while shredding on his guitar.<\/p>\n<p>May created a classic moment 20 years ago, during the 2002
