At UK royal jubilees, particularly the Queen's jubilee, large numbers of working-class people showed up, including people from Caribbean and West African communities, cheering the monarchy. This was unexpected by 'the great and the good' who thought no one would attend. They nearly didn't hold the jubilee in the 70s due to this expectation.

“And um they almost didn't hold the Jubilee in the 70s. They thought no one would turn. The great and the good thought that no one would turn up. Mh. And yet millions of working-class people did, including people from the Caribbean and from West Africa.”
