Queen Elizabeth makes surprise appearance on balcony at Platinum Jubilee finale

The Queen’s brief appearance at the palace’s balcony with three generations of royalty.

Against expectations, Queen Elizabeth has made an appearance, smiled and waved to crowds. It was a brief appearance from the Queen.

BBC reported that she smiled and waved at the crowds gathered outside the palace before heading back inside.

The 96-year-old monarch had been unable to appear at Friday and Saturday’s events after experiencing mobility problems in recent months.

She was, however, seen inspecting troops on the Buckingham Palace balcony on Thursday and also made a surprise pre-recorded appearance in a comedy sketch with Paddington Bear.

She was surrounded by Prince Charles and Camilla, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their three children — three generations of royalty.

Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran has taken to the stage to perform, singing in front of Buckingham Palace.

He is expected to lead a special tribute to the Queen, and the public around the palace will be invited to sing the national anthem.
