The Queen's Jubilee

[Petrushka]

Breaking News .... Prince Philip has been taken into King Edward VIIth Hospital in London with a bladder infection as a precautionary measure. At 90 years of age, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Mind you, it does mean that he misses the concert tonight and some further shindig tomorrow .... nice work HRH

Sincere best wishes for a speedy recovery

I did wonder whether this might have had anything to do with being out in that awful wind and rain yesterday. As anyone knows who stands around in similar conditions on the racecourse it can make you feel quite 'off' for a few days. Both the Queen and HRH should have been taken below decks.

Despite being a somewhat lukewarm monarchist I will put it on record that as a member (chairman indeed) of our Choral Soc, I was out there on the High Street of Royal Wootton Bassett this afternoon doing the decent thing and leading the throng in a spirited rendering of "I Vow to thee My Country"

Poor Gustav ......... he hated the dreadful words

No, you weren't ... you are obviously very proud of your leading and admirable contribution to the Jubilee event, but you just don't want to upset Mr GG and the other eleven on that protest march ... we can well understand.

Made the mistake of switching to BBC1 just now... Is Elton John these days anything but a bizarre joke? Jaw-dropppingly awful!

It's getting worse ... now, inspired by Stevie Wonder, they're singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to poor Queenie ...

PS ... ah I wonder if this is supposed to double as the Queen's Official Birthday ? ... as you were!

[french frank]

Sir Cliff expressed the view earlier that he thought the Queen would rather be at the opera ...

So it seems even he thought the show would be pretty bad ...

For a minute I thought he was going to launch into Candle in the Wind ,,,,, I must have missed Lang Lang, I wanted to see whose jacket was the most sparkling!

Princess Anne and the Archbishop were certainly rocking along to Stevie Wonder. I thought the graphics projected on the front of the Palace while Madness played Our House were very clever.

Watch out scotty, or, come the revolution, and you'll be earmarked for re-education!

And now, 'National Treasure', Sir Paul McCartney.

So many of these 'stars' tonight are parodies of themselves.

So you've been watching, Anna - Princess Anne and the Archbishop were singing along to Macca's All My Loving, as indeed I was! Who's the Duchess of Cornwell?

Cracking music and fireworks at the end though!!

But bloody Huw Edwards talking over the music at the end inc. the Beethoven. The BBC is decidedly staffed by philistines

That really annoyed me as well, and rolling the credits before the fireworks had finished!! But, brilliant display and I thought the Queen had a tear in her eye and looked a bit emotional about it all
