Platinum Jubilee Service at St Paul’s Cathedral

The Queen pulled out of today’s Platinum Jubilee Service at St Paul’s Cathedral due to ‘discomfort’ caused during yesterday’s Trooping the Colour Ceremony, and was instead represented by the Prince of Wales, supported by members of the ended Royal Family.

The extended British Royal Family were led by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, along with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (wearing the Queen’s Bahrain Pearl Earrings) who took part in the Procession, as well as Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, The Earl and Countess of Wessex and Forfar, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (in her Birks Diamond Earrings), Peter Phillips, Zara and Mike Tindall, Princess Beatrice and Count Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, The Earl of Snowdon, Lady Sarah (wearing the Greville Pearl Earrings) and Daniel Chatto, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and their respective children, grandchildren, and spouses. Great Paul, the largest church bell in the country, was rung for the Service. It was made in 1882, but fell silent in the 1970s due to a broken mechanism. It was restored in 2021 and has been rung on 8 occasions since, but this was the 1st royal occasion it was rung. After the Service, members of the Royal Family attended a Reception at the Guildhall.
