The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II on June 2, 2012, marked her 60th year on the throne. The celebrations included a spectacular Thames River Pageant, where over a thousand boats paraded along the river, honoring her reign. A concert at Buckingham Palace, featuring artists like Paul McCartney and Elton John, also took place, followed by a massive fireworks display. | History In Pictures
