Boris Johnson and wife Carrie led political homage to the Queen on her Platinum Jubilee today as tributes were paid to the Monarch's decades of public service.

Mrs Johnson was in a cerise pink outfit with frill detail and large matching hat as she accompanied the Prime Minister -  in sober morning dress - to the Trooping the Colour ceremony in central London this morning. 

Politicians from across the political divide came together today to praise the Queen on her Platinum Jubilee, with tributes pouring in from MPs who highlighted the monarch's years of selflessness.

 

Former prime minister Theresa May tweeted: 'For 70 years, Her Majesty has been steadfast in her selflessness, in her dedication to duty and in her commitment to her country. For that we simply say: thank you, Ma’am. God Save The Queen.'

And Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: 'The Queen has shared our greatest moments and suffered with us in our darkest days. This weekend, we celebrate Her Majesty.'

Senior Tory MP Tom Tugendhat said the weekend of events was 'a celebration of the Elizabethan Age that has seen our lives transformed'. 

The former British Army officer said: 'Queen Elizabeth may not have decreed it but she gave the feeling of stability that allowed a speed of change and innovation that left others struggling with unrest and revolution.' 

Members of the Royal Family including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived for Trooping the Colour today as Prince Harry and Meghan join senior royals at an official engagement for the first time in more than two years.

The Sussexes are also set to bring along three-year-old Archie and Lilibet, nearly one, for the public family reunion - and the children are likely to meet their cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at last.

He had earlier left No10 with senior military officials to join a day of pageantry.

Former prime minister Theresa May tweeted: 'For 70 years, Her Majesty has been steadfast in her selflessness, in her dedication to duty and in her commitment to her country. For that we simply say: thank you, Ma’am. God Save The Queen.'
