Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has said that the Queen's Platinum Jubilee is the "catalyst" the country needed for a "V-shaped" economic recovery, as inspired tourists book trips to visit England., which is leading her Platinum Jubilee Pageant through the centre of London.
The procession, which featured 6,000 performers, moved from Horse Bank Parade through Westminster to Buckingham Palace, where the Queen made another balcony appearance. It was led by a military contingent drawn from all three UK armed services and a number of other Commonwealth countries. Mr Khan told Swarbrick on Sunday: "I've been speaking to people from all across the globe who've been enjoying London over the last few days, and I'll tell you an amazing stat - we think this weekend there are more than 2.6 million domestic and international tourists in our great city.
"It's really important that we have a V-shaped recovery and this is the catalyst we needed to have that recovery. Really important after the last two and a half years."
