Viewers following the Platinum Jubilee Pageant on BBC immediately switched over within minutes of the procession starting.
The celebrations to mark Queen Elizabeth II's 70 years on the throne drew to a close today. The parade toured some of the most iconic streets in Westminster and featured the Gold State Carriage Her Majesty used for her coronation in 1953.
The procession will finish outside Buckingham Palace, where Ed Sheeran will perform for the grand finale of the Jubilee celebrations. Coverage of the event was being broadcast on the BBC, who interviewed a range of celebrities to capture the jubilant mood of the day.
