Think the nations celebrations which will be taking place next week and weekend deserve a thread of their own. It all kicked off yesterday with MP's before their recess dedicating an entire session in the House of Commons yesterday to pay individual tributes to Her Majesty The Queen.
The PM Boris Johnson described her as 'Elizabeth the Great' and described his weekly audiences with Her Majesty as 'immensely comforting'.
Sir Beer Starmer paid tribute by saying “We celebrate her not just for representing our great nation, but for making it greater still. We celebrate her not just for being our Queen, but for being a Queen for all her people and reigning over us with such grace.”
Lindsay Hoyle the Speaker for the House nailed it on behalf of the whole country by saying “Platinum is the appropriate epithet for this jubilee. It is one of the purest of the precious metals. It is rare, durable, and enormously valued. For 70 years, Your Majesty has profoundly demonstrated all these qualities. On behalf of all the members of the House of Commons and the entire nation, may I thank you wholeheartedly for all that you have done, are doing and will do for the good of our country.”
Here in Lyme we are having a torchlight procession next Thursday to give thanks to Her Majesty and then a huge fireworks display over the Cobb to celebrate all she has done and continues to do for us. On Sunday we are holding a huge jubilee picnic in the afternoon where Mrs Crodo is producing some special baked goods with proceeds going to the fund to buy the Queen a new yacht and in the evening we are holding a concert on the beach featuring some rousing British songs and a special rendition of Happy Birthday featuring the On The Market.com choir and our good friends Polly and Giles.
The highlight of the nationwide celebrations look like the Platinum Jubilee Party at the Palace featuring some of the very best and biggest names in music today and over the Queens reign featuring Queen (and a very special surprise from Brian May), Cliff Richard, Lulu, Mabel, Sam Smith, Jess Glynne and Diversity. Some of the biggest celebrities including David Beckham, Alec Scott, Stephen Mulhern, Judi Dench and Lenny Henry will pay tribute to her.
