Lizzie Cundy, Myleene Klass and Emma Bunton kick off the boozy Jubilee parties

Myleene Klass, Lizzie Cundy and Emma Bunton got the party started on Thursday as Bank Holiday celebrations kicked off across the United Kingdom in honour of The Queen‘s milestone Platinum Jubilee.

Street parties will take place up and down the country as boozy Brits make the most of a three-day weekend, capped by a star-studded musical extravaganza outside London’s Buckingham palace on Saturday evening. 

And a host of celebrities were evidently keen to make an early start, with radio and TV personality Lizzie, 54, enjoying a knees-up with friends in the back garden of her west London home. 

The former WAG was appropriately dressed for the occasion in a regal red gown and raffish tiara as she downed champagne and mingled with guess displaying their Britishness in Union jack suits and dresses.

The Duchess of Cambridge and her three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis waved for cheering crowds at Trooping the Colour today as they began the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in style.

Three carriages left the forecourt of Buckingham Palace carrying members of the Royal Family down The Mall this morning, with the Duchess of Cornwall riding alongside Kate Middleton and her children in the first carriage.

They were followed in the glorious sunshine by the Earl and Countess of Wessex with their son James, Viscount Severn, and finally the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence in the third carriage.

Louis sat between his older siblings George and Charlotte in a carriage, with Kate and Camilla sat opposite. The children, who were dressed in a light blue, navy and white colour scheme, waved to the crowds – and at one point Charlotte appeared to push Louis’s hand down, while the Princess squinted in the sunshine as the carriage left.
