One hundred “national treasures” will travel along the procession in open-top buses, each representing a decade of Her Majesty’s reign.
Buses from every era carry memorable slogans of the time, like Groovy for the 1970s and the phrase Girl Power coined by the Spice Girls, who rose to fame in the 1990s.
As well as music superstar Ed Sheeran, who will be paying tribute to Her Majesty, other celebrities have been confirmed to be attending throughout the day including legendary singer Sir Cliff Richard.
Actors Jeremy Irons, Olympic heroes Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, former England footballer and TV presenter Gary Lineker, comedian Bill Bailey and childhood sweetheart Basil Brush will be taken in open-top buses as part of the pageant along a specially designed travel route.
Comedian Rosie Jones, para-athlete Kadeena Cox, TV presenter Alan Titchmarsh, top chefs Heston Blumenthal and James Martin, and fashion icon Gok Wan have also signed up for the extravaganza.
