The Queen is the first British monarch to celebrate 70 years on the throne, and in September 2015, she surpassed Queen Victoria to become the longest reigning monarch in British history.

First Minister Mark Drakeford paid tribute to her and will attend events in Cardiff and London over the weekend.

He gave "thanks and warmest congratulations" on her "historic milestone".

At 12:00 BST a royal gun salute in Cardiff Bay signalled the start of the Jubilee celebrations, with an hour of military music from the Regimental Band and Corps of Drums of the Royal Welsh following.

As part of the event, 42 shots were fired - 21 to mark the Queen's birthday, and another 21 to mark the Jubilee.

The event was important for Col Siôn Walker, Deputy Commander of the 160th Welsh Brigade, as he gave the salute to allow the guns to be fired.

"I joined the Reserve Army in 1985 and was commissioned in 1991, joining the 224 Squadron in Lampeter," he said.
