Many say that the monarchy has had it but it didn't look like it outside Buckingham Palace ...... such wonderful images of thousands filling The Mall, waving their Union Jacks. I would be really sad if it all disappeared. I thought, for 96, the Queen looked good ..... she is obviously not so good on her pins but she did well to stand on the balcony for that long at her age. Loved the flypast ..... they didn't fly over our garden this time ..... must have flown a different route !
