Tattoo marks Jubilee finale
The Queen's official Golden Jubilee celebrations have drawn to a close at the annual Edinburgh Military
Tattoo.
The monarch attended the musical spectacular with the Duke of Edinburgh and met organisers and participants of the sell-out show at Edinburgh Castle
She was greeted by Scottish First Minister Jack McConnell and Castle Governor Major General Robert
Gordon.
Dressed in a lemon coat with black gloves, black shoes and matching handbag, the Queen smiled at the cheering crowds on the packed
8,600-seater Esplanade.
It was her first visit to the Edinburgh event as
monarch.
The royal couple then enjoyed a spectacle from the largest cast in the Tattoo's 53-year
history.
The show opened with a Jubilee Fanfare, followed by massed pipes and
drums, performed by the 260 pipers and drummers from 13 regimental and Commonwealth
bands.
About 1,200 performers from the Commonwealth, America and Europe put on a show of
music, dance, horsemanship and fireworks.
Hundreds of dancers from Africa, America, Asia, Australia and Canada also took
part, supported by about 600 musicians.
The Tattoo ended with a lone piper's rendition of the Skye Boat Song, a favourite of the late Queen
Mother.
