During this period of mourning, everything revolves around thoughts of HM The Queen, methinks.
I have already featured Her Maj's love for Duke Ellington, and The Lambeth Walk, but also among her avowed favourite numbers was this one, to which she and Philip used to love to twirl:
Well, I suppose it is traditional for me to feature dance music to mark the end of another working week...
If the queue ever goes down - curent estimate is up to a 24-hour wait! - I might try and go to pay my respects to Her Majesty. I'm not overly optimistic, mind you.
What a lovely gown. She certainly had her day! Love cheek to cheek :)
ReplyDeleteThe gown that almost caused a rift between the pair... Jx
DeletePractical, too - the dusting gets done while one's dancing!
DeleteNot that practical. It shed feathers everywhere - Fred and the whole set were covered in them at rehearsals. Some clever wardrobe person fixed that - and the rest is cinematic history! Jx
DeleteGood luck if you('re) brave(ing) the queue, Jon!
ReplyDeleteI did. I'm in a state of torpor today. Hopefully, more on that later... Jx
DeleteOh my goodness! You queued?! I bet that was an experience, I shall look forward to your post.
