    I don't think we are the only nation who does this kinda thing.

    Other countries who have put on great spectacles in the past include: North Korea, China, the USSR and Hitler's Germany.

    Not sure about the comparisons but we just do it better.

    God save The Queen.

    Off to Plum Lane, Plumstead soon where a pal has helped organised a street party.

    Anyone see the BBC's coverage of the pageant? Absolute amateur night.

    Tess Daly being 'knighted' by a drag queen was just pure Partridge.

    had been watching Sky and then flicked to the bbc and saw that , i mean who was the foaming piss head knighting her, proper cringeworthy , turned straight back to Sky
    although i would have preferred to have been watching the tennis but she who must be obeyed wanted to watch the royal stuff

    The queen looks radiant and beautiful , spent most of tonight recovering from the biggest weekend piss up at Clacton football tournament I can remember , watched the river parade on the big screen before the England game telling people who were mocking the queen and what she stood for to get the eff out of my space and pipe down considering they wouldn't have looked out of place on Jeremy Kyle couldn't believe the the cheek of them , place was full of jubilee partys from football teams across the sth and the kids couldn't understand why people were saying such nasty stuff against her maj


    Love all of what I have seen today

    Extremely proud to be English and have such a wonderful monarch


    Makes what the boys and girls done in two world wars seem worth it to allow us to maintain such a fantastic and inspiring heritage to pass on to our children


    I love the monarchy and all it stands for


    God save the queen

    Some proper miserable and nasty vermin on this thread - you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves.

    Sure, it's not everybody's cup of tea - but thankfully most people in this country still like this sort of thing, so you can go and play with the traffic.

    Give my family the money, property and privelege. We'll do it. And grandad can do the embarrassing comments to foregin dignitaries just as well as "Prince" Philip Poppaloupoukis.

    Still watching the French Open.

    Can't wait for your next "witty" response about the French Open.

    Stevie wonder says it best


    Isn't she wonderful , isn't she lovely, isn't she beautiful


    Stevie wonder legend and giving her a wonderful send up


    Let the haters hate off it , it's their loss not realising that men and women died for their love of the monarchy throughout our proud history and people like them wouldve and should be still sent to the tower or just slung in a dungeon somewhere

    You can pick holes in the institution of the monarchy and you can pick holes in aspects of the job Queen Elizabeth 2 has done within that institution. For example should she have done more to embarrass government (s) surrendered powers to the EU without properly consulting the people?

    But overall for 60 years she has done a damned fine job and been a credit to the country and deserves the tributes she has received over the past few days.

    I'd far rather her than a a discredited sleazebag like Blair as "President" which would be the alternative.

    The Queen's official birthday this year was switched from a Saturday to Monday 4th June, so in fact it was her birthday at the concert.
