Charlotte, seven, can be seen flinching after the cannon went off, prompting George, eight, to turn to her and say, "That made you jump," to which she replied, "That made me jump!"

Along with Her Majesty, the young royals were joined by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their younger brother Prince Louis, four, for the final balcony appearance of the celebration.

The two young royals shared a sweet moment

Featuring giant puppets, the Gold State Coach, and a host of celebrities, the event saw the very best of music, theatre, street arts, carnival and costume join together to tell the story of the monarch's 70-year reign. 

The final act saw pop sensation Ed Sheeran give an emotional rendition of his chart-topping ballad Perfect while a montage of video clips of the Queen throughout the years played.

After enjoying the first day of celebrations which included her annual birthday event, Trooping the Colour, the Queen was unable to attend day two or three of the weekend, missing Party at the Palace concert at Buckingham Palace as well as the Epsom Derby, which took place on Saturday.
