Just to balance things out grin

Seems to be a lot of people on here really not interested in the jubilee celebrations, so I thought it would be nice to have a thread for those of us who are happy about it & think 70 years as our queen is a fantastic achievement.

Are you going to any events or parties?

PS. Negative comment deflected with aplomb Calendargirl. Very cool!

Aplomb? Really? Cancelling/deplatforming then making a snide remark about spelling?

...and I hope that at least a second's thought was given to the possibility that payens1 comes from one of the many parts of the world where 'Marvellous' is spelled with one 'l'.

Well, it’s 2 LL’s where the majority on GN come from.

And the thread is about celebrating , not slagging off the Queen.

Alert! On a related thread Joseanne has misspelled 'Britain'. Please feel free to pile on...

I think marvelous is the Amerian spelling.

Which begs the question why a new poster from across the Atlantic is interested enough to make a negative comment?

Yep, and on the moutarde thread I said "who cares" what gender it is when someone accidentally trips up, sane with spelling. My comment to Calendargirl was to congratulate her in keeping this thread happy.
As you were folks. My next dog event is coming up.

Amazing how even when the majority keep to the spirit of positivity some cannot resist being negative and unpleasant, wonder what they are like in real life hmm. I managed to watch part of the trooping of the colour in the morning and caught up with the rest in the evening, wonderful to see the pageantry, the precision and the superbly trained horses. Our village is celebrating tomorrow so I'm hoping the rain stays away and everyone can enjoy themselves.

Well the pup did his best too! Needs a bit more practice!

Most impressive about today’s celebrations by us was the speed with which any litter disappeared when we had finished.

Joseanne Sun 05-Jun-22 07:29:25

Last day today, thankfully a quieter one here.
Enjoy your parties those having them today. Hope the weather is kind.

We had a lovely jubilee party last night. Everyone had made such a great effort and the buffet was colossal. Amazingly, it was all consumed. The friends and neighbours posed for photographs with our newly planted jubilee tree. A general good time was had by all.
Watching the video of the Queen with Paddington after the party was just perfect! Happy days.

Speaking personally, I'm a little ray of sunshine ?

Well that’s the 4 days of celebrations over & I’ve throughly enjoyed it ( apart from a few dubious acts last night grin
It’s been wonderful, & so nice to see the crowds cheering along & supporting the Queen & all the events.
