Newspaper headlines: 'Beaming Queen' and 'What a racket, great-granny'

The start of the Jubilee celebrations dominates today's front pages.

The Times - with the headline "Beaming Queen gets her party started" - devotes much of its front page to a solo image of the Queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

The paper says that, cheered by tens of thousands and revered by millions more, the Queen gave a masterclass in how a 96-year-old monarch should mark their Platinum Jubilee.

The Daily Express also describes the Queen as "beaming" and says she reacted to the rapturous crowds by exclaiming : "Oh, how incredible."

"Teary" is how the paper describes the Prince of Wales as he took in the well-wishers filling the Mall.

The Daily Mirror pictures the Queen with Prince Louis next to her, hands tight over his ears amid the noise of the flypast. "Wow. What a racket, Great-granny," is the headline.

The Daily Telegraph has the same photograph. "A glorious day" is the paper's conclusion.

The paper says, though, that there was also a sense of an ending: the nation's first Platinum Jubilee is also almost certainly its last - with the "great, beaming throng, surfing a wave of joy, united in wanting to thank the Queen, to celebrate everything she means to us."

The Daily Mail's headline is "Didn't we give her a deafening cheer!". The paper adds in response to the Queen's absence from the St Paul's thanksgiving service - "oh how we'll miss her today".

The i newspaper features a solo image of the Queen, with the simple headline: "History maker".

The Queen is pictured in the Daily Star with the aircraft of the flypast behind her in the sky - "the Best of British" is how the paper sums up the day.

But it devotes the rest of its front page to the current travel chaos facing holidaymakers.

"Nut Cases" is the headline - about advice to travellers to ditch their suitcases, and only use carry-on luggage, in order to avoid airport delays.

The same subject is the focus of a leader column in The Times which says the great holiday non-getaway must rank as one of the most predictable, infuriating and unnecessary failures of Britain's airlines, airports and travel industry in recent years.

The Guardian leads on the president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists saying that doctors' routine dismissal of women's debilitating health problems as "benign" has contributed to waiting lists soaring by 60%.

Edward Morris tells the paper that waiting lists for problems such as endometriosis had increased by a bigger proportion than any other area of medicine in the past two years.

The paper points out that many such conditions are defined as medically benign, despite being life-limiting and progressive in some cases.

The Guardian also covers the Ukraine war on its front page, as the conflict enters its 100th day.

Reflecting on this, the paper says the outbreak of fighting in February marked the end of three decades of peace between Europe's biggest powers.

It says it also marked the end of an idea: that trade and prosperity could dissolve old European rivalries, that access to iPhones, Instagram and Ikea furniture could cool the chauvinist impulses that had fuelled centuries of bloody history.

The Independent says "this extraordinary and astonishing conflict, reshaping modern history, shows no sign of ending" - adding that the Kremlin hopes for a win in the Donbas, to allow Vladimir Putin to claim victory.
