the Queen's Platinum Party At The Palace on Saturday. The music icon, 81, who has previously performed at both the 2002 Golden Jubilee and 2012 Diamond Jubilee celebrations, spoke of his sadness over not joining the glittering line-up which included Diana Ross, Queen and Elton John. Appearing on Sunday's Sky News, he was asked: 'And you did that in 2012, I remember that very well, at the Diamond Jubilee.
Do you remember that moment?He responded: 'I do yes, it was terrific. The one thing I will say now, is the show that I saw last night was probably the best produced show ever done for the Queen. 'They must have spent millions on the lighting and it was just fantastic and I found myself slightly envious that I hadn't been invited to sing because I would have loved just one picture in front of the palace lit like that.
'Sir Cliff is still part of the festivities however. He is one of 100 national treasures who will ride in open-top buses around London, with each bus marking a different decade of the Queen's reign. The star got his singing moment when he burst into a tune while on the bus.
He joins stars including Shirley Bassey, Jeremy Irons, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, Gary Lineker Bill Bailey and Basil Brush. Later speaking on the BBC, he said: 'I was disappointed I couldn't be on stage, this year's production of the show was absolutely phenomenal. 'I was getting green with envy thinking I would just like to have one photograph taken against the palace.
But it wasn't my turn and the young guys took over, and quite rightly so. 'Two bus enthusiasts have also outlined the work it took to get their bus ready for the pageant. Ivan Fisher told the PA news agency: 'This is our bus' first big event since we've owned it.
