ITV Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebration viewers slam 'awful' show and raise cruelty concerns

Claims of animal cruelty have been levelled at ITV by viewers of the the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration, with some describing it as "awful". Thousands of performers from across the world, including famous faces all come together to pay tribute to The Queen’s remarkable 70 years of service in a special theatrical event.

The Celebration event took place in front of a live audience of 4,000 on Sunday night, May 15, which was broadcast live on ITV, reports Yorkshire Live. Phillip Schofield and Julie Etchingham were in full swing as they delivered the event to the nation from an on-site studio hub outside the grounds of Windsor Castle.

Just before the Queen's arrival, they chatted to a number of celebrities, including A-lister Tom cruise, which didn’t go down well with some viewers. But once the celebration started the Queen was seen sitting in the royal box with a huge smile on her face while wearing a glitzy grey cardigan and embellished blue dress.
