1 CHAPTER ONE: THE PRINCESS AND THE DRAGON A giant puppet dragon the size of a double-decker bus with a wingspan the width of The Mall will meet a young dancing princess, representing "the princess's innocence set against one of power and wisdom".
The 6.5-metre (21.3 feet) tall female dragon known as The Hatchling, created by arts group Trigger from Bristol, will be the largest-ever puppet to be solely human-operated, with a team of more than 18 puppeteers.
2 CHAPTER TWO: THE QUEEN'S BEASTS A menagerie of farmyard animals and mythical creatures will parade, representing the four nations of the UK - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - featuring the Queen's beasts.
Among the costumes will be lions, unicorns, a dragon, peacocks, swans, chicken, pigs, sheep and a snake.
Performers aged from 12 to 70 will take part in the segment by Shademakers of the Isle of Wight.
3 CHAPTER THREE: THE WEDDING PARTY This Bollywood take on Princess Elizabeth's wedding to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1947 includes a giant fourtier wedding cake, inspired by the Queen and Philip's, which will be 'baked' by acrobatic cooks on the move.
Bollywood dancers will wear special Platinum saris in the set by London-based art organisation Nutkhut. The cake will house a sound system playing a medley of Bollywood tunes, and rickshaws will also blast out music.
4 CHAPTER FOUR: THE CORONATION An Afro-Caribbean carnival-style interpretation of the Queen's 1953 coronation by Brent-based Mahogany Carnival Arts imagines the animal kingdom's response to Princess Elizabeth's accession while on safari in Kenya.
A huge wire-framed bust of the monarch will appear, trailed by 80 dancers in purple and white to create a bird's eye view of her coronation robe.
