From Times Wire Reports
Queen Elizabeth II opened Buckingham Palace to 12,000 guests for an outdoor evening of classical music, kicking off a celebration of the 76-year-old monarch’s 50 years on the throne.
Eighteen members of the royal family joined the concertgoers, who won their tickets in a lottery. Performances included symphony, ballet, operatic vocals and cellist Mstislav Rostropovich.
The four-day Golden Jubilee celebration will include a pop concert, street parties and a royal procession through London to St. Paul’s Cathedral.
