Queen Elizabeth Makes her Platinum Jubilee Debut at Trooping the Colour

Let's the Jubilee begin! The Queen takes a seat on her balcony and ready for the celebration
The Queen, 96, is celebrating her 70 years on the throne.

The Queen Elizabeth II, 96, took her place on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for Trooping the Colour on Thursday. Joined by her cousin, the Duke of Kent, the Queen took the official salute.

She dressed up in a light blue ensemble embellished with pearl and diamante trim by her personal dressmaker and close friend Angela Kelly with one of her signature wide-brimmed hats that perfectly coordinated with her dress.

The monarch walked out using a cane, which she has been using regularly since last year to help with her ongoing mobility issues, PEOPLE reports.
