STORY: Hundreds of thousands of union jack waving members of the general public headed to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen make a public appearance on the balcony of her London residence.

Earlier the Queen and royal family rode in an open-topped carriage from Westminster to the palace on the final day of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

The Queen, flanked by Prince Charles and Camilla on one side and Prince Wililam, Kate and Prince Harry on the other, walked out to a huge roar from the crowd onto the balcony.

Prince Philip, who is recovering in the hospital, was not at her side.

Guardsmen gave the Queen a three gun salute.

The Queen smiled and waved from the balcony before heading back inside, signaling the end to the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
