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

It's drones Millie22. The latest thing.

Callistemon21 Sat 04-Jun-22 22:21:50

Well, that's a dress and a half!

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

I did as well.

Love the drone ‘pictures’.

Yes, she did

Spectacular light show throughout and just amazing organisation. Out and out stunning. Feel proud and joyful and a little bit tearful.

Hmm - Diana Ross miming and being out of sync

eazybee Sat 04-Jun-22 22:26:27

Well, Diana Ross is showing them how it is done.

Purpledaffodil Sat 04-Jun-22 22:26:36

And why Diana Ross dressed as a teapot? ?‍?

Joseanne Sat 04-Jun-22 22:26:52

And the wrist bands in the audience are controlled by someone lighting them up in different colours.

Calendargirl Sat 04-Jun-22 22:28:05

I think on the whole, it’s been a splendid show. Much better than I thought it would be.

Do you think they get paid, or perform for free for the prestige?

merlotgran Sat 04-Jun-22 22:31:11

Well done Diana Ross.

Calendargirl Sat 04-Jun-22 22:31:22

Oh, Charlotte still wide awake and waving her flag.

Abrupt ending!

ElaineI Sat 04-Jun-22 22:32:09

Concert good but 2 questions. Why only an English rose with the drones - which were brilliant but is this a message to Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland? Noticed this immediately. And why was Diana Ross miming the songs? Out of sync and volume wrong - was she unwell?

Joseanne Sat 04-Jun-22 22:32:33

For me, technologically world class. The design and pin point accuracy.

rafichagran Sat 04-Jun-22 22:33:01

I really enjoyed that.

Callistemon21 Sat 04-Jun-22 22:33:25

Excellent.

And the light show was just wonderful!

merlotgran Sat 04-Jun-22 22:33:28

Why the abrupt ending? Last time they had all the acts on stage for a finale. What a disappointment.

Marmight Sat 04-Jun-22 22:33:50

Abrupt ending indeed. They let sport over run so why not let this concert do the same! angry

Grandmadinosaur Sat 04-Jun-22 22:34:41

Yes I was surprised at the abrupt ending. Thought there might have been fireworks at the end. Poor Charlotte looked so tired.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done all involved.

Callistemon21 Sat 04-Jun-22 22:35:08

Yes, a finale would have been good.

Lesley60 Sat 04-Jun-22 22:45:01

I wasn’t that impressed with the artists, I either didn’t know who they were or they were has beens who should have stayed where they were.
Fantastic lighting though, and the Queen and Paddington was funny.

Callistemon21 Sat 04-Jun-22 22:45:54

Perhaps Queen should have headlined?
Just my opinion.

Diana Ross was ok but not spectacular.

Cabbie21 Sat 04-Jun-22 22:46:42

I was wanting it to end with just a short finale after Charles’ speech.

silverlining48 Sat 04-Jun-22 23:05:41

I turned over for the last half hour or so and didn’t know who anyone was until Stephen Fry and Diana Ross who I worried was going to trip over her voluminous dress.
The lighting effects were very good.
