Will you buy something to commemorate the Queen’s Royal Jubilee?

Will you watch special events?

Will you even travel to the UK and attend something?
 

No and no. I taped the show for hubby, he wanted to see the flyers. Told him to call me when they go on the balcony and I did see that.

So much money that went to this while people do not know where their next meal is coming from. This could have been done for less, much less, and still been a celebration.

And I wonder too about all those crowds....I predict another outbreak of covid.
 
No.

No.

No.

What would I gain by buying anything? As a minimalist, I don't need more junk. Since I only watch competitive sports, this fluff stuff is not entertaining enough.

well it could be said about Bread and circuses I agree.. however, I do believe strongly that this will be the last of it;s kind.. I don't think that there will ever be a King or Queen in this country who will either serve long enough to enjoy jubilee celbrations or... that the people will no longer enjoy the Monarchy in the same way as they while the Queen is the Monarch.. and these types of Jollies will be slimmed down if not completely abolished..

For as long as I can remember, I have sympathy for the republican cause.

No, but that's not any sort of protest, I just find watching TV tedious.

I live in the UK. I won't be attending anything to do with royal celebrations.
You can find me at The New Forest Showground, jiving my socks off.

My wife is very much pro-monarchy, whilst I am pro-republic. The one concession
that I do accept is that our Queen is exceptional. Had Edward 8th not abdicated it
might just have tipped the scales towards a republic. But it is what it is.

I did watch some of the trooping part, and some of the balcony scene. The Queen looked very well.

I hear she will not attend the church service tomorrow. I bet she's in pain. The Archbishop of Canterbury came down with covid and will not be officiating.

yes apparently she is in pain today .. it's a long day for anyone age 96 much less someone who has to smile and acknowledge the western world...and speak with dignitaries all day long..while in pain
 
A year before covid, we were in the UK, wish we had been there for the Jubilee. Watched a lot of aerial displays in my time and yesterday's did not disappoint. If you are intererested and missed it, here is a great video. The Red Arrows magnificent as usual.
Watch at the end for a perfect formation of 70 to mark the jubilee year.

 
My mother had remembrances of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. They’re probably costly collectibles now…

I always get a bit emotional watching them because they're such masters of their craft. Often when they are on the way to a display or returning from one , they'll pass over my house, it's a spectacular sight..
