Jubilee flotilla
Well, we sat in all afternoon drinking Pimms (it was 29 degrees outside) to watch the Thames extravaganza and apart from Huw Edwards, it was brilliant!
BIG BZ to all those that took part. I particularly liked the Sea Cadets with the Commonwealth flags.
I felt very sorry that the rain stopped the flypast and the Philharmonic babes looked a bit washed out! But how anyone can bitch about Her Maj or that fantastic spectacle defies belief. (F*n*s!)

Thought it brilliant and to see the smiles and bobbing of Phil the Greek, Wills and Harry at the horn pipe was superb. Hope they have a great evening up at President and at all the barracks, they earned it and did us proud!!
The flotilla was a great thing to see.

I'm neither republican nor royalist but found their silly bobbing up and down undignified bearing in mind their status.
Henry III wouldn't have behaved in such a manner.

I love all the pomp and ceremony. I had the chance to take part in a small way but unfortunately I couldn't make it. I now really wish I had. I will never see anything on that scale again.

And again. Phil and Chuck looked like they had been playing in the dressing up box, the amount of bling they were wearing just looked plain daft to me, I suppose they have to have every award going to black cat anyone else who turns up in rig but some one needs to tell them not to go over the top
