Following the death of the Queen, one overriding memory has been shared by Brits – just how wonderful her Platinum Jubilee celebrations were earlier this year.
One stand-out moment for us here at ED! HQ – and royal fans on Twitter – came when the Queen reacted to Alan Titchmarsh‘s gushing comments about her.
The hilarious incident happened during a Platinum Jubilee event at Windsor back in May.
Alan Titchmarsh at Queen’s Platinum Jubilee event
Back in May, royal fans saw the Queen attend the Royal Windsor Horse Show as part of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
At the show, the Household Cavalry Musical Ride performed a choreographed routine, whilst stars such as Helen Mirren, Tom Cruise, and Damian Lewis did performances and gave speeches.

One star who gave a speech at the event was Alan Titchmarsh. During his speech, Alan gushed over the Queen, drawing a hilarious reaction from the 96-year-old monarch.
“For over 70 years, there has been one constant heartbeat in this nation,” the 73-year-old said.
“And that heartbeat belongs to Her Majesty, the Queen.”
The camera then cut to the Queen, who simply shrugged as the audience applauded her.
Plenty of royal fans found the Queen’s reaction to Alan’s gushing hilarious.
Many headed to Twitter to comment on it at the time.
“I saw that too it was so funny!!” one viewer tweeted under a clip of the incident.
“I love this! The perfect reaction,” another said.
“Love her sense of humour, fabulous Queen!” a third wrote.
“Hahaha brilliant!” another tweeted.
“The Queen always seems like she would be a right laugh,” a fifth commented.
Her final outings
At the time, the event was just the second time that Her Majesty had been seen in public since Prince Philip‘s memorial back in March.
Her Majesty was seen at the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Friday, May 13.
The 96-year-old beamed as she was driven to the event.
Her appearance came after she was forced to pull out of the State Opening of Parliament earlier in the week.
Charles attended the engagement in her place.
However, royal fans were left delighted as the monarch made what would go on to become her final appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony over the long weekend in June.
