The royal barge was part of a 1,100 boat flotilla, which broke the Guinness world record for the number of boats in a procession.
Festivities to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne include a 10,000-strong picnic and a star-studded rock concert featuring Elton John and Stevie Wonder.

The party will end with the Queen lighting the frst of an expected 4,500 beacons that will be lit around the world to celebrate the occasion.
