Kings and queens from around the world have gathered in
Britain to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Twelve UK royals joined the Queen to welcome the
sovereigns of 26 countries for a luncheon at Windsor Castle.
The world figures arrived at Windsor Castle in a convoy
of black chauffeur-driven cars in time for the start of the lunch at 12:30 BST
amid tight security.
Also joining the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh for the
lunch were Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, the Duke of York,
Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
There was a group photograph before the royals sat down
to lunch at round tables seating 12. Each group had least one sovereign, their
spouse, a member of the British royal family and a member of the royal
household

A British-inspired menu was prepared using many
ingredients sourced locally.
To start, the royals were given a tartlet of poached egg
with English asparagus.
This was followed by a main course of new season Windsor
Lamb with braised potatoes, artichokes, peas, carrots, broad beans, cabbage,
and a tomato and basil salad.
Kent strawberries, vanilla Charlotte, dessert fruit and
cheese concluded the meal.
The menu for Prince Charles's banquet includes
twice-baked cheese souffle with baby leaf spinach, line-caught sea bass with
coastal samphire and rhubarb Eton mess.
