It is a view of the Diamond Jubilee concert that you couldn’t see on television.
Photos and comments posted on Twitter by those involved in the celebrations give a unique insight into how the events unfolded behind the scenes.
Posting a picture of herself standing next to the Queen, pop singer Cheryl Cole wrote: ‘This image will live with me Forever.. I could never have dreamed of this moment.’

One of the more amusing Twitter exchanges began when Mike Tindall, who is married to the Queen’s granddaughter Zara Phillips, posted a picture of Buckingham Palace he took on his phone from the royal box at the concert.

American pop star Will.i.am, who performed at the concert, had clearly been enjoying his day at the palace.
He tweeted a picture of himself with the royal guards, with the caption: ‘Me and my crew holding down the royal palace while the people celebrate the #diamondjubilee.’
He then posted a picture of himself wearing one of the guards’ bearskin hats.
Stephen Fry, watching the concert from his London home, posted an audio recording of the fireworks, writing that they were ‘rattling his windows’.
He was obviously more impressed with the BBC’s TV coverage than he had been on Sunday, when he called it ‘mind-numbingly tedious’.
He tweeted: ‘You see BBC? It works so much better with no commentary.’
While the Royal Family, politicians and celebrities enjoyed the concert, Speaker’s wife Sally Bercow was absent from the celebrations.
And despite being an ardent anti-monarchist, she took to Twitter to complain that she hadn’t had a VIP invitation. ‘I wish,’ she told one user who asked if she had been invited.
‘We get the stuffy, pompous perks mainly’ – referring to the fact that she and her husband had been invited to join the thanksgiving service yesterday at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Later, she said she had reluctantly agreed to attend because ‘if I hadn’t accompanied Mr B, they’d bang on about what a disgraceful, unsupportive wife I am’.
In response to her comments, one exasperated Twitter user wrote: ‘Why don’t you just shove off and let someone who would appreciate it be speakers wife then?’
Mrs Bercow had already annoyed fellow Twitter users with her comments about the jubilee, after calling members of the public who had joined the celebrations ‘mindless, flag-waving loons’.
She told followers she was ‘underwhelmed’ by the jubilee celebrations – while boasting that she had ‘the best view in London’ of them.
She also tweeted that she was ‘c**p at pretending to be ardent monarchist’ and that the best thing about the jubilee was the ‘retailer discounts.’
The Duchess of York wistfully tweeted about the jubilee, which she watched on TV after not being invited to any of the official celebrations. Sarah, 52, wrote: ‘Sooo proud of my girls smiling broadly, celebrating Granny with the Nation and Eugie with her flag and both happy smiles.’ 
Minutes later, she added: ‘Prince Andrew, The Duke of York looking very dashing in his naval uniform.
'Would love to see more of my girls and their Papa on the BBC.’
