Why Diana Ross?

Isn’t Adele still trying to sort out her concert in US that she cancelled at short notice ?
I m with you ‘MissA’ annie Lennox would be great
I think the Queen liked Queen but then Freddy wasn’t English either so wouldn’t have suited the English only people and he’s busy rocking his harp anyway

It was an American friend of mine who expressed surprise that in the UK we didn't think we had any suitable singers. She pointed out that in the US they don't have a British singer at the Super Bowl, for instance.

We could have had Ed Sheeran, Adele, Ellie Goulding, Jack Savoretti, Elton John to name just a few, even Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey whose voices have held up.

I hadn’t seen Katherine Jenkins for a few years and was surprised how much weight she had lost, apparently she has liver problem, hope it improves.

I went to Harrods once,never saw anyone famous,then again i didn`t look at people shorter than me.
It will be interesting to see Diane Ross,close up obviously.
I thought Ed Sheeran/Adele would have been a good choice.

Harrods was my treat when I used to visit London on business. Fortnum and Mason do fab afternoon teas, or they used to!

Fortnum and Mason are currently serving a very nice Jubilee themed afternoon tea.

Well the ingredients of that pudding aren’t exactly British- Swiss Roll? Amaretti biscuits? Why not Bakewell tart and Eccles cakes???
Blimey some people are so narrow minded

I saw her in Harrods once. She's tiny. (Diana Ross, not the Queen. And I don't often go to Harrods.)

I think that may even be a rule. Any time I see a famous person I think "s/he's tiny"

When it comes to "tiny", Kylie takes the biscuit.

I sat next to Dara O Briain on a plane once.

He is not tiny.

He was lovely though.

I used to go to Harrods when I lived near London. I always thought it was overcrowded and overpriced. The lifts were good though. Reminded me of 'Are You Being Served?'

I used to go to Harrods for the loos. somewhat less after they started charging. Free if you had refreshments.

I also used to buy scrag end of neck of lamb there because I figured it would be better quality than that available from most butchers. And it was.

A friend used to go and pretend that he wanted to buy a grand piano so that he could play them. They didn't stop people because they could have been pop stars.

I think it was The 3 Degrees that Prince Charles liked.

I also saw Diana Ross years ago - she was very good but it was years ago.

Could have had Jane MacDonald and James Corden

That's a cue for a song...
I've been to Halfords, but I've never been to me.

My name is River and I've never been to Halfords, but I'm sure it's very nice!

Lulu makes me want to shout.
Annie Lennox would be my choice.

If you're like me you type the right thing and the PC has a mind of its own. Halfords is quite nice though!

bet you Lulu is gutted,she's very vocal about being British and a unionist ,you'd think Lizzie would have had a space for her .lol

Just trying to think of British female singers.
Emeli Sandé?

Prince Harry headlines events in America. Maybe it's just a swap?

Haha yes I have been to Halfords ? volver it did say it right before I posted
Never been to any posh places in London though, my go to place was Camden market , and Shepherd’s Bush loved them both

Halfords!

The only internationally high-profile female singer that springs to mind is Adele but she would have to sing some more suitable songs. The Queen would have to choose the songs.

We also have Annie Lennox and Alison Moyet but she may not be high enough profile. Katherine Jenkins and Charlotte Church the same. Just trying to think of British female singers.

I like Burly Chassis...

Oh and I ve never even seen Halfords or Fortnum and mason but I have been in Red Square does that count ?

But why does it need to be an English singer or group she’s travelled the world and may have wide tastes in music I thought it was fir her not us !! Gosh what a small minded country we have become
She could have had Shirley Bassey but maybe she prefers Diana Ross s voice
