During a procession through Windsor, which is west of London, thousands of people lined the streets to catch just a sight of their beloved queen (via CNN). Later that same night, The Queen hosted a "Party in the Palace" at Buckingham Palace, which featured a pop concert. The lucky audience members were selected by lottery, and what a show they got to see! Sir Paul McCartney, former Beach Boy Brian Wilson, Sir Elton John, Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, Sir Cliff Richard, Dame Shirley Bassey, Will Young, Atomic Kitten, Mis-teeq, Phil Collins, Blue, Spice Girl Emma Bunton, Tom Jones, S Club 7, Aretha Franklin, Annie Lennox, Steve Winwood, Rod Stewart, Ricky Martin and The Corrs all performed for The Queen and her guests.
Younger royals who are now household names excitedly attended the concert that night, including Prince William (then 19), Prince Harry (then 17), Princess Beatrice (then 13), and Princess Eugenie (then 12). Countless others who were not fortunate enough to make it into the show were able to join in by filling the local public parks, where the concert was broadcast live on large screens. The concert was also available to watch on television, and it garnered 200 million viewers worldwide (via Royal.UK).
