Prince
Charles gave a warm, emotional and often witty speech in praise of his
mother at the close of the Diamond Jubilee Concert.
Just
his opening word – ‘Mummy’ – earned him rapturous cheers from the crowd
as the Queen, dressed in a gold lame gown dotted with crystals, looked
on plainly delighted.
The
pair, accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall, had minutes earlier made
their way down to the stage encircling the Queen Victoria Memorial, to a
standing ovation.
Celebrities including Kylie Minogue and Cheryl Cole
jostled to stand as close to the royal party as possible.
The prince gently warmed his audience up by making a joke about the terrible weather for Sunday’s river pageant.
‘If I may say so, thank God it turned out fine!’ he said.
