The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II on June 2, 2012, marked her 60th year on the throne. The celebrations included a spectacular Thames River Pageant, where over a thousand boats paraded along the river, honoring her reign. A concert at Buckingham Palace, featuring artists like Paul McCartney and Elton John, also took place, followed by a massive fireworks display. | History In Pictures

A great honor for me to have been invited to the Royal Jubilee celebrations throughout the years. It’s been now 70 years on the throne and 70 years of supporting music and musicians. Thank you, Your Majesty! | Angela Gheorghiu
