The Royal Family were reunited in magnificent style today as Prince Philip rejoined their ranks for his first major event since he was hospitalised during the Queen's Jubilee celebrations.
The Duke of Edinburgh looked in good spirits as he waved to the crowds of thousands after spending a week in hospital with a bladder infection and being forced to miss some of spectacular events marking 60 years of the monarch's reign.
The Queen brought extra cheer to her official birthday celebration, in defiance of the gloomy weather, wearing a primrose yellow coat and dress by Angela Kelly with matching hat, displaying her Brigade of Guards brooch.
She has now worn the outfit on three different occasions, including to the Royal Wedding last year - obviously taking a leaf out of the thrifty Duchess of Cambridge's book.
