Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebration attracts social media complaints amid accusations of 'horse cruelty' and 'poor production'

A live audience of over 4,000 people and viewers across the nation sat down last night (Sunday, May 15), to watch the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebration. One of many events being held in celebration of Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee, The Celebration, which was held between May 12-15 in the grounds of Windsor Castle, heavily featured one of Her Majesty's favourite things - horses.

The Celebration saw more than 500 horses and 1000 performers create a 90-minute piece of 'spellbinding arena theatre' which involved actors, artists, musicians, international military displays from the Commonwealth, Europe and our own Armed Forces, dancers and global equestrian displays. Sunday night's spectacular was delivered to the nation by Phillip Schofield and Julie Etchingham from Windsor Castle, with some of the entertainment industry's biggest names in attendance, including Tom Cruise, Adjoa Andoh, and Dame Helen Mirren.

Her Majesty could not stop smiling as she made her way to the royal box, accompanied by the Earl and Countess of Wessex. Despite having to cancel a number of appearances recently, including the State Opening of Parliament last week, The Queen appeared to be in good spirits, and used a walking stick to get around.
