Thousands gather to salute Queen Elizabeth as Platinum Jubilee celebrations begin

Tens of thousands of royal supporters lined the streets of London on Thursday to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee and kick off four days of pomp, parties and parades to mark her record-breaking 70 years on the British throne.

Millions of people across Britain and the world are expected to join the festivities in honor of the 96-year-old, who has reigned for longer than any of her predecessors, the government said.

"Thank you to everyone who has been involved in convening communities, families, neighbors and friends to mark my Platinum Jubilee, in the United Kingdom and across the Commonwealth," Elizabeth said in a statement.
