His Majesty travelled to the Palace of Westminster in the Irish State Coach before reading out Sir Keir Starmer's pledges, which the party said will "take the brakes of Britain", inside the House of Lords.
The speech was written by the government and read out in a neutral tone by the monarch, allowing the winning party to outline its priorities for the next parliament.
Wednesday was the first Speech from the Throne under a Labour government for 14 years.
It was expected to contain more than 35 bills and draft bills aimed at improving transport, creating jobs and accelerating the building of houses and infrastructure as the government seeks to turn round Britain’s recent cycle of low growth.
