Queen Elizabeth made her first Diamond Jubilee appearance at the Epsom Derby today. The jubilee marks her 60th year on the throne.
The Queen was loudly cheered everywhere she went at the Derby race meeting and her family seemed to have a good time too #diamondjubilee—

I know the Queen loves horses so The Derby is a good way to kick off the Jubilee but a 4 hour program for a 2 minute race! #boring—

Great atmosphere at Windsor. Saw the queen leaving the Castle to go to Epsom. Awesome. Americans screaming.—

Camelot wins the Epsom Derby, will now attempt to become the first horse since Nijinsky in 1970 to win the English Triple Crown—

And now she’s back to Windsor Castle before three more days of celebration.
Those who couldn’t make it to the race kicked off their own celebrations:
60 years of dedicated service might even warrant a toast with Bollinger Grand Annee at £60 a bottle! #DiamondJubilee #GodSaveTheQueen—
