As the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend gets under way, we have drawn up your indispensable visual guide to the highlights each day.

       Today, the Royal family will be out in full force for Trooping the Colour. The Prince of Wales, Duke of Cambridge and Princess Royal will be on horseback, with other members of the family in carriages.

       The crescendo will see the Queen and her family appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch a fly-past. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Duke of York will not be on the balcony. In the evening, more than 3,000 beacons will be lit around the UK and Commonwealth.
