The Duke of Edinburgh, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, the Duke of York, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, and Princess Alexandra of Kent were also in attendance.

Other politicians in attendance were Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable, and John Bercow, the Commons Speaker.
