William, 33, Kate, 34, and Harry, 31, waved to the crowds and well-wishers lining the streets 10-people deep to get a glimpse of the queen and her family.

The queen, who is known for her punctuality, was 10 minutes late to the service because her Rolls Royce was held up in traffic.

A portrait of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz was released today to mark the celebration.

Tomorrow, senior members of the royal family will attend Trooping the Colour, one of the most ceremonial events on the royal calendar. The military parade features Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry riding in various state coaches to Horse Guards Parade along with 1,400 soldiers and 200 horses.

The royal family will then return to the Buckingham Palace balcony to greet the thousands of Britons who line the streets for the Flypast.

William and Kate's son, Prince George, 2, made his first balcony appearance last year. Kate and William’s 1-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, may make her second public appearance since her christening last July.
