The Queen symbolically lit a chain of Platinum Jubilee beacons stretching around the world in her honour tonight/last night in a touching ceremony at Windsor Castle.
Putting her mobility issues to one side, the 96-year-old monarch made a third public appearance of the day to launch more than 3,500 flaming tributes to her 70-year reign by laying her hand on a specially created glittering Commonwealth of Nations globe.
The event formed part of a special dual ceremony with her grandson the Duke of Cambridge, waiting 22 miles away at Buckingham Palace where the beacon centrepiece - a 21-metre living ‘Tree of Trees’ sculpture - was subsequently illuminated in lights on the Queen's command.
