The Prince of Wales is enjoying the event outside Buckingham Palace in the royal box alongside the Duchess of Cornwall.
At one point, Charles stood to take it all in - but those watching at home were distracted by someone in the background.
Tash Crump, a marketing executive from Southampton, said: "The woman falling asleep behind Prince Charles to the point they had to change camera angle had us in stitches, bless her!

And a third, Amanda Burt, chimed in, tweeting: "Jeez how embarrassed will that woman be when she realises the world has noted her falling asleep."
Also in the box as the Platinum Jubilee celebrations draw to a close are William and Kate, and their children George, Louis and Charlotte.
