Just watching the concert at Buckingham Palace and who should pop up but Her Majesty doing a beautiful clip with Paddington Bear. Even better than her appearance with James Bond

Who is she?

Eloquently delivered speech. "Optimism and joy .. what a wonderful world."

Celeste is trying to copy Amy Winehouse?

Come back Louis Armstrong, all is forgiven!

Who is the woman singing What a Wonderful World off-key just now?

Elton was much better than Rod.

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Jun-22 22:03:29

But she wasn't in tune!

Elton was terrific though. I love that song.

I had my first slow dance to Your Song ❤️

I thought I would just watch the start of it to see the setting and crowds but it really caught my attention and here I am still watching it! I've recorded it as I think my DGS will enjoy some of the younger groups/singers I didn't recognise. Did recognise Nicola Sturgeon and her husband sitting behind the royal party. I think the organisers have done a good job.

Thanks Gransmadinosaur - sadly I’m none the wiser but I seem to have been saying that a lot during this concert. Must be getting old…..

The graphic projections are very good.

There's a stark difference between William's and Charles' speeches.

Joseanne Sat 04-Jun-22 22:14:23

Crikey all those drones in the air. Very clever.

Calendargirl Sat 04-Jun-22 22:14:41

Thought Camilla looked very elegant in her coat, nice and warm.

hollysteers Sat 04-Jun-22 22:16:19

Amazing effects possible now.
I still haven’t eaten as my pause/record isn’t working…

Millie22 Sat 04-Jun-22 22:16:43

The lighting is fabulous. How are they doing that.

Wow! A brilliant speech from William . Spectacular party !
