It features three times the number of aircraft which took part in the 2019 flypast

A six-minute flypast featuring more than 70 Red Arrows, Spitfires and Hurricanes has been confirmed for the Platinum Jubilee weekend.

Completing the Queen's Trooping of the Colour birthday parade, the monarch is expected to watch the flypast from the Buckingham Palace balcony alongside other members of the royal family.

Joining Her Majesty on the balcony will be the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence. It was also confirmed that only senior members of the family would be attending, with Prince Harry, Megan Markle and Prince Andrew no longer joining.

"I'm proud that the Armed Forces are leading the nation in celebration with such a spectacular display," Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace, says. "Throughout the Platinum Jubilee celebrations we will all enjoy the expertise, skill and talent of our Armed Forces as we celebrate Her Majesty's 70 years on the throne."

The balcony moment is a big celebration for the royal family, bringing together over 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians to mark The Queen's birthday. While it is annually held on the second Saturday in June, this year it has been moved to Thursday 2nd June to kick-start the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend.

Trooping the Colour will be broadcast live by the BBC on Thursday 2nd June. For more information about how to watch the Trooping the Colour Parade, and how to apply for places in the seated stands at the Horse Guard's Parade, head over to the Household Division's website.

This historic jubilee makes a great excuse to add another Emma Bridgewater mug to your collection! This one features our national anthem in EB's signature script on a proud red background.

Here's a more subtle design from Emma Bridgewater.

Lastly, the potter has this vibrant green option. Which will you choose?

Harrods has released its own commemorative mug, too. This fine bone china option features the dates of the Queen's reign in shining gold and finished with the royal crests.

Particularly dedicated royalists will be pleased with this lovely handmade cushion cover; it's thoroughly celebratory without being garish. It'd fit right in with a country cottage scheme while adding a cheerful flash of colour.

This design is also available as a tea towel, if you prefer – in a good range of colours.

This makes a fun memento – use it to display your scones or sandwiches for your Jubilee garden party over the bank holiday weekend, then display it on the wall or your cabinet after the festivities are done.

Hang this suitably British bunting around your garden fence, conservatory or the front of your property to show your appreciation for our longest-reigning monarch. It comes in either two or five metre lengths, or you can ask for your specific requirements.

Made from gold-plated pewter and studded with glittering crystals, this ornate decoration is exclusive to the Historic Royal Palaces shop. Keep it proudly on display in a cabinet, or you could even use the hanging loop to turn it into a Christmas tree ornament, if you like.

No garden party is complete without cake. These rice paper toppers will ensure your offerings are less Victoria sponge and more Elizabeth II – much more appropriate, in this instance!

A subtle design finished with traditional royal purple crowns; these are lovingly hand-painted to order, so you know you're getting something thoughtful to commemorate this special occasion.

Okay, this charger plate is expensive, but it is handmade from fine bone china and finished with burnished 22-carat gold detailing, so it is a really exquisite piece. Plus, we're sure you agree that a Platinum jubilee party deserves something extra special to celebrate properly. Put this plate pride of place on your table to show off your afternoon tea spread for your do.

With its ornate crown, orb and sceptre design, this lovely Emma Bridgewater design will pay homage to our queen while brightening up your kitchen (and helping with the washing up!).

More tea towels here – choose your favourite design, or collect all three!

To match the charger plate above, this charming teapot will finish off your royal scheme perfectly. We just love the little crown on the lid.
