Fans spot Prince George's respectful act during National Anthem - and Prince Louis' cute salute

Royal fans were delighted as The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s children took part in their first carriage procession as celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee began.

As thousands of Brits crowd The Mall, many shared their delight online after catching sight of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis with the Duchess of Cambridge and Camilla in a carriage at Trooping the Colour for the first time.

The three youngsters sat side by side and waved to the crowds during the traditional carriage procession as four days of celebration for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee kicks off.

And some eagle-eyed fans were delighted to see George, Charlotte and Louis bow their heads when the national anthem was played on their arrival into Horse Guards Parade.
