The Jubilee is definitely growing on me

Happy for people to be happy. I haven't devoted much time to it, getting ready to go on holiday. Watched a few highlights on the news .As I get older I find myself more moved by The Queen shrinking to such a tiny person before our eyes, but she did look full of joy on the balcony, no doubt amused by lovely little Prince Louis. A friend was at Chelsea Flower Show the other week and was up fairly close to the Queen, she is I'm told tiny but very smiley and lovely. I have been watching bits and pieces of programmes about her earlier life and because anything to do with the royal family largely washed over me whilst I was growing up, I realise she was quite vibrant in her heyday.

Did a bit of dress watching from what I saw on the news, I thought Catherine and Meghan looked equally glamourous on Thursday, lovely outfits and hats. So many great grandchildren now, nice to see some of the girls gathered together larking around. I expect she is enjoying meeting Archie again and Lillibet from the first time.

There were a few parties going on where we live, houses decked out in flags and bunting. Went into town yesterday, in our market square, many stalls lots happening, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and in good spirts, but then it was wall to wall sunshine in the morning, it's raining now though, may clear up later we're told.

The only undignified thing on my patch was the dog scoffing some trifle, and showing no deference to the judge who placed him 3rd.
But actually he was easily led in the ring!

Totally agree with Joseanne

I don't think this is Britain at its greatest, not in the slightest.

I think its Britain at its most deferential, undignified and easily led.

Totally agree with you Joseanne.

Yes we all know people like an excuse to party. Will there be as much hoo haa over the next coronation?

Couldn't give a stuff what's happening in those departments. Better to look closer to home to gauge the mood.

Happy faces, community spirit, all ages, beautiful decorations, good food etc etc. Britian at its greatest.
