Prince Charles and his son Prince William honoured the past and looked to the future as they paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at a star-studded concert outside Buckingham Palace celebrating the monarch's 70 years on the throne.
But he also highlighted his mother’s role as a symbol of stability, unifying the UK and the Commonwealth as they negotiated this rapidly changing world.Prince Charles delivers a speech during the BBC Platinum Party at the Palace, as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Recalling the Queen’s 1989 Christmas message, in which she called on all nations to work together to protect the earth for “our children and children’s children," William said: “It’s my firm hope that my grandmother’s words are as true in 70 years’ time as they are tonight, that as nations we come together in common cause, because then there is always room for hope."
The queen is widely known as an avid horse lover, and she has only missed the Epsom Derby a handful of times. It was the second time in as many days that the queen's mobility issues have robbed crowds of a chance to see her.
