I've cried through most of it
Loved Diversity. And Rod Stewart and the rappers ...so pacy .....lovely to see George and Charlotte there.....the Royal Family has been reincarnated
Loved the Queen's aside with Padington Bear
She looked so genuine
I loved her
And we've only got up.to Duran Duran.
Loving it so far
ReplyDeleteI'm.not a fan if such back slapping events but this has caught me unawares
DeleteMe too
ReplyDeleteWonderful celebrations for your Queen! Glad that so many are going all out for this terrific occasion!
ReplyDeleteI have some friends who managed to get tickets
DeleteI didn't even know there IS a concert. I'm so out of it.
ReplyDeleteOh it's so good
DeleteHaven't seen much of it, but am just watching Elton John. The light show on Buckingham Palace is spectacular. xx
ReplyDeleteBless him, he always looks like a badly made bed
DeleteIt's all rather moving Prince Chales ' speech was lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hope HM is bopping away in the palace! xx
DeleteI loved it- especially The Queen and Paddington Bear-and had a dance or 2-Diana Ross and George Ezra were my favourites x
DeleteAnd I the fact Camilla was standing by his side wasn’t lot on the audience , I’m sure
DeleteThe Camilla thing is now old hat, they've been married for years for goodness sake! She's a working Royal and has proved her worth, the Queen accepted her long ago and has made it clear she wants her to be Queen Consort when Charles is King. Why keep on dredging up the old stuff.

My point was that the palace was clearly lining up the next players in the story
DeleteCamilla and Charles then William and Kate and the children … they way forward was clear
The Jubilee concert sounds outstanding and the line-up of bands is excellent. Everything about this Platinum celebration is so well orchestrated. I wish there was better coverage in the US. We need a break from all the horrible news in the US...
ReplyDeleteThe Brits , especially London , is very adept at organising big events . They have the experience
Delete70 years worth in the modern world
loved it all ! and thought the lighting was truly spectacular ...
ReplyDeleteYes, I’m fascinated by drones
DeleteIt was brilliant .... wish I'd been there. Loved all of it .... my favourites were Queen, Andrea Bocelli, Sam Ryder, Diversity, the light show on the Palace and the drones. Oh, and Ben Bailey Smith who did the rap about sport ...... tears !!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteYes, I found the whole thing very emotional.
DeleteI can cry at anything as you know, but it felt the end of an era and the start of a new one
Did you get that vibe?
What a totally brilliant show. Who else in the world could put on a show like that. It makes you proud (if you weren't already) to be British.
ReplyDeleteDiana Ross did well for 78
DeleteI like the fact no one can grandstand , they’ve got to perform and then bang your off
Had been expecting to watch it all today (Sun) on 'ketch-up') but stayed up for the whole thing. At the risk of being curmudgeon, I thought there were some acts on target but rather more misses (Duran Duran? Oh dear! Really? - or should that now be....."Who?") Good to see Mr Stewart mking a are PPERnce T EVENTS SUXH AS HIS, THIS BBEING, OF COURSE, QUITE UNI
ReplyDeleteYes Duran Duran was somewhat lacklustre , I loved the Paddington aside, as the Queen looked genuinely amused , and more animated than her Olympic debut
DeleteWatching the Queen's Christmas Address is a tradition of mine that I cherish. She is amazing. But the Paddington Bear Tea took the cake on it all. I hope the person who came up with that bit of media has a long and prosperous career, and I can see more of the work done.
ReplyDeleteWatching from the States, I enjoyed every condensed minute! Much better than any Olympic pre/post show that I have ever seen. The graphics department should get a knighthood (or whatever accolade is given). Great show.
ReplyDeleteThat Paddington Bear clip was very cute indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen's Jubilee sounded like such a wonderful time. I'm just dropping by from Tom's blog after reading your view on life. I loved it!
