Have just been watching todays events (repeat). Must say it does make me feel proud of our home-land. Not for one minute do I expect any agreement to this btw, is just my own feelings. Those horses are just SO well behaved, all of our ladies and gentlemen in the armed forces impeccable, what a spectacle. Have been practising the shuffle march The Duke of E doesn't look well though, 91 years old I realise, but surely they need some time off. Thank goodness it wasnt raining for them.

I totally agree. When it comes to putting on a show, no one does it better, the precision and the pride is second to none. I remember when I was proud of British cars, British lorries, British buses, British ships, British aircraft, British trains, we led the world in so many things. Now it has all gone, systematically destroyed by bad work practices, bad management and incompetent governments. We had it all and threw it all away. So sad

I was watching it on TV here as I was clearing out cupboards in the bedroom. It was, as you say, a real spectacle and how the Queen looks so relaxed and happy after the last couple of weeks of jubilee celebrations is a real credit to her. Also I thought that everyone on the balcony looked so much like one big happy family. The best bit for me was the fly past as they came over our garden a couple of minutes after. I heard the aircraft in the distance so I raced downstairs and out into the garden in time to see them.
