On the occasion of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Boris Johnson is leading political tributes to her.

Today, Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie led a political salute to the Queen on the occasion of her Platinum Jubilee, with honors paid to the monarch’s decades of public service.

Mrs Johnson wore a cerise pink suit with frill detail and a huge matching hat to the Trooping the Colour ceremony in central London this morning, while the Prime Minister wore sober morning attire.

MPs from all parties came together today to congratulate the Queen on her Platinum Jubilee, with comments pouring in from lawmakers praising the monarch’s years of dedication.

Former prime minister Theresa May tweeted: ‘For 70 years, Her Majesty has been steadfast in her selflessness, in her dedication to duty and in her commitment to her country. For that we simply say: thank you, Ma’am. God Save The Queen.’

And Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: ‘The Queen has shared our greatest moments and suffered with us in our darkest days. This weekend, we celebrate Her Majesty.’

Mrs Johnson was in bright pink as she accompanied the Prime Minister - in sobre morning dress - to the Trooping the Colour ceremony in central London this morning.

Senior Tory MP Tom Tugendhat said the weekend of events was ‘a celebration of the Elizabethan Age that has seen our lives transformed’.

The former British Army officer said: ‘Queen Elizabeth may not have decreed it but she gave the feeling of stability that allowed a speed of change and innovation that left others struggling with unrest and revolution.’

Members of the Royal Family including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived for Trooping the Colour today as Prince Harry and Meghan join senior royals at an official engagement for the first time in more than two years.

The Sussexes are also set to bring along three-year-old Archie and Lilibet, nearly one, for the public family reunion – and the children are likely to meet their cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at last.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: 'The Queen has shared our greatest moments and suffered with us in our darkest days. This weekend, we celebrate Her Majesty.'

Lilibet has never been introduced to her royal relatives, while Archie has not been in the UK since he was six months old. But there is no invitation for shamed Prince Andrew even in a private capacity after his fall from grace.

The Queen’s Birthday Parade at Horse Guards in London is the first official Platinum Jubilee event of the bank holiday weekend, with Her Majesty set to appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the traditional flypast.

Thousands of people draped in Union Jack flags, party hats and plastic tiaras lined the Mall in the warm sunshine today. Some of those at the front brought camping chairs, having arrived over the past few days to get the best spot, and spirits were high as members of the public chatted and joked with police maintaining the perimeter.

However, police then swooped on four intruders tried to smash through security on The Mall. Two of the protesters – who were from Animal Rebellion – were able to sit in the middle of the road as the marching band approached. Officers hauled them out of the way as the musicians walked by them, avoiding them completely.
