Queen Elizabeth II will take the salute of mounted troops from the balcony after the Trooping the Colour military parade
The extent of the 96-year-old monarch's involvement in the celebrations for her record-breaking 70 years on the throne has been a source of speculation for months.
Her son Prince Charles will step in this year, supported by his sister Princess Anne and his eldest son, Prince William. Elizabeth was a 25-year-old princess when she succeeded her father king George VI in 1952, bringing a rare touch of glamour to a battered nation still enduring food rations after World War II.
She could yet put in a final appearance - again from the palace balcony - on Sunday, at the climax of a huge public pageant involving 6,000 performers.
