In pictures: St Pancras opening
|
The Queen officially opened a revamped St Pancras station, the new home of the UK's high speed Eurostar service.
Her Majesty said the £800m St Pancras was "magnificent", and hoped it would become "a destination" in its own right.
Developers called it the jewel in the crown of a £5.8bn project to bring high speed rail to the UK.
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins and pop singer Lemar provided musical entertainment.
The event saw two Eurostar trains and a Hitachi Bullet Train, which will shuttle spectators to and from the 2012 Olympic Park, arriving at St Pancras.
