The octogenarian passed his test at the age of 16 and took up motorcycling in 1952, a year before the monarch’s coronation. “It’s been brilliant working with other clubs. “We compete in the whole circuit but it’s been really good working with so many people than what you normally do. It was impossible to rehearse an event of this scale, meaning there were a few hiccups – including when the open-topped vehicle carrying Prue Leith from the Great British Bake Off, who featured in the pageant’s “Dame” section, broke down.

The Queen has appeared in hologram form beamed onto the historic Gold Stage Coach, which led her Platinum Jubilee Pageant through the centre of London.

"The gentleman who owns the 2000s bus was approached by the Pageant committee and asked if he knew of anyone who could contribute a bus, and we jumped at the chance because it's a big privilege to be involved." The coach was guarded by troops from the Yeomen of the Guard, the oldest unit of the British Army in service. The 60s was represented by a group dressed as hippies and model Daleks from Doctor Who, with gay pride campaigners for the 70s and skaters for the 90s. The procession was designed to show British life and culture from across the Queen's 70-year reign, organised according to the decade. Whilst the Queen was unable to travel in her coach for health reasons, she was represented on the side in hologram form by footage from across her reign. In 1953, the coach was used to transport the Queen to her coronation in Westminster Abbey.
