It's not often you watch the birth of a viral meme live on TV, and far more rare for it to be one that features Her Majesty the Queen. But that's exactly what happened on ITV on Sunday night (May 15) as The Queen sat watching the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations live from Windsor Gardens.
It was a star-studded event featuring a mix of celebrities from Martin Clunes to Tom Cruise and of course, a great many horses (more than 500) which the Queen appeared to prefer. But it was during one particularly gushing speech from Alan Titchmarsh that the Queen delivered the best moment of the night.
Alan said: "There's been one constant heartbeat of this nation, and that heart belongs to to Her Majesty the Queen." Applause erupted from the crowd and the camera cut to the Queen for her reaction. She simply did a shrug and a little shake of the head. And that was all it took for Twitter to erupt with happiness.
