Over a million well wishers converged on Buckingham Place yesterday to hear a mixture of rock's "golden oldies" and pop newcomers celebrate 50 years of the Queen's reign.

Praised as the "People's Queen" by the Mirror and with the palace pop concert described by the "Jubilee Sun" as the "Mummy of all parties", many highlight Prince Charles' tribute to the Queen and last night's huge crowds which gathered on the Mall.

"Your Majesty...mummy," said the prince. "In my long experience of pop concerts this has been something very special indeed."

Yesterday's street celebrations and spectacular fireworks were "Pure Gold" says the Express, marking a "Golden Reign" according to the Mail. The events took a populist theme, with the nation encouraged to take part in a mass singing of the Beatles' hit song "All you need is love".

"It was a magnificent end to the day that proved Britain could party with the best," said the Telegraph.
