For the third day of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations a spectacular – to say the least – open air concert took place outside Buckingham Palace, which saw musical legends including Diana Ross, Sir Rod Stewart and Queen all perform.

Among the 22,000-ish people who gathered to celebrate Her Majesty's 70 years on the throne and watch the party unfold, there were four very regal VIPs who got the best seats in the house, of course. Although the Queen herself could not attend due to mobility problems, on her behalf we saw The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge alongside two of their three children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte all enjoy the show.

Here's how they reacted to the Queen's surprise virtual appearance in her incredible skit with Paddington Bear:

As sweet as this is, it was another adorable moment between Kate Middleton and daughter Charlotte which got royal fans oohing and ahhing.

The British rock band Queen and singer Adam Lambert, who has been touring with the band since 2011, opened up the #PlatinumPartyatthePalace. The group sang some of their best-known anthems including 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions', but Kate and Charlotte's favourite seemed to be 'Don't Stop Me Now'.

The two were caught on camera adorably singing along to the classic tune and as a result, sent Twitter into a frenzy. Watch the sweet moment below:

Everyone's clicking on...

And not only that, but the family were also spotted singing along to 'Any Dream Will Do' whilst waving their Union Jack flags. How cute!

Now, I don't know about you, but I'm not too sure many other seven-year-olds would know the lyrics to a 70s classic. Kate and Will, we salute you for you having taught Charlotte well.
