A Pageant indeed



The Queen's 1000-boat Diamond Jubilee pageant on the Thames...



...a magnificent occasion.

  1. BBCAmerica provided awesome coverage. The Queen looked divine and everyone looked like they had a great time in spite of the awful rain.
    Hope you did too cozy and warn indoors.

    1. I can't remember the last time I spent five hours watching one TV programme; but it was worth it - splendid in every way! My sister ventured to see the pageant at the river and got drenched, as did everyone, but in true British spirit it seems the whole crowd said "how tiresome" to the rain, and carried on cheering regardless...

  2. I should be ashamed to admit that I watched TEN hours of Royal Wedding coverage.

    1. Why be ashamed? Ten hours (at least) of utterly mesmerising telly is unusual these days... Jx

      PS She's Canada's Queen, too!
