Excellent op sim and I wish her well. Britain has a monarchy and has done for a thousand years and I have no desire to see a republic and figurehead president replace what is some of the most fascinating history you will read from the likes of William I, Edward I, Henry VIII, George III, George IV, Victoria and our present Queen Elizabeth II.

Long may her reign continue. The pomp and ceremony is awesome to watch and nobody does it better.

Well said!

Such a shame that our lousy weather has intervened.

In times of poverty & austerity in this country where the poor & being made poorer - To watch this pomposity is gauling to say the lest.

Nobody is forcing you to watch it you have that choice which is free.

***** Jubilee, utter ****

Basically this country has more pride in one old aged woman than they do the entire country!

Is not the monarchy a huge part of this country? If so then can you not argue that celebrating the jubilee is celebrating our country?

I see all the sour grapes have turned up en masse to this thread.

Anyway, shame about the weather, was looking forward to the flypast

Nope.

Not really, just very anti royal have been since I was a kid and with reason, that damn boat can sink for all i care!

 

[Locky]

Don't care about the queen and i'm not celebrating anything. However, thanks for the 2 days off.

 

[Cosimo]

This is a celebaration thread so please don't spoil it.

I have just spent the last few hours watching the River pageant and reading through the old OcUK confessions threads. An afternoon well spent, I think not.

I have been trying to avoid the Jubilee all day, without success I might add. Can't even turn on the radio without someone fawning all over the Queen. As an oppressed colonial ( Canadian ), I can't say I'm too keen on the Royal Family. Will continue with my computer build and try and block out the noise of the street party that appears to be going on in the back alley!

Edit - Oops didn't see the comment above! Hope everyone who is celebrating it today has a good day anyway!

 

[Brookert]

Someone should create the anti-jubilee thread, then you lot can take your boring ideas of republic in there....

We would be mad to change what little history and British tradition we have left.

 

[Cagerty]

Well at least we got a holiday out of it, so cheers Liz! The Royals do have their uses now and again

Really enjoyed watching the whole thing sadly spoiled by the weather . I do love events like this as Britain really does put on a fantastic show with all the pomp & ceremony ,makes me proud to be British and I dont think that very often !
