Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating 70 years on the throne over the coming days, and her 32-year-old granddaughter - who is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York - has requested her followers send her their photographs and clips from their street parties and more so she can share them on Instagram.

Alongside a video marking the anniversary of the monarch's Coronation, Eugenie wrote on her Instagram Story: "Good morning dear followers on this momentous first morning of the Jubilee weekend.

Send me your pictures of videos and I will post some on here so we can all join together in honouring HM The Queen's life of service."

The clip begins: "On the first day of the Platinum Jubilee weekend and the anniversary of The Queen’s Coronation, we look back on Her Majesty’s life of service from her time as a young Princess supporting the war effort to her extraordinary commitment to her role as Monarch."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a similar message on the Kensington Royal Twitter page.

They wrote: "We're looking forward to celebrating and seeing how you're joining us in marking this #PlatinumJubilee weekend."

First in line to the throne, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall are also asking social media users to use the hashtag #TheJubileeLunch to show how they are celebrating.

The celebrations are underway with the Trooping the Colour military parade today (02.06.22).

Followed by a thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral on Friday (03.06.22), and the Jubilee Pageant on Sunday (05.06.22).
