16,000 applications for street parties in England!
In Scotland?
100.
Crikey. Just watching Scottish BBC news. It is quite incredible. It is complete indifference.
And the crowds in the scenes in London on the TV were 99.99% white.
I'm not sure that 'carry on regardless' is wise, in the long run.

Hope you enjoyed your day
It was brilliant. Joanna Lumley was behind us in the outdoor studio, and Nick Robinson (radio) said good morning to me, as we walked through Green Park.
The RBL gave us a brunch box with a Piglets Pantry sausage roll, blueberry muffin, banana and orange juice. There was also free bottled water (with tops), tea and coffee. Everybody was friendly and helpful, so a great atmosphere.

The tv pictures must have been focused on that sector because I walked back through the crowds, afterwards and there were loads of different ethnicities.

The way it should be.
As long as you missed that royal pest, Alan Titchmarsh, he was at the Windsor horse show, a couple of weeks back, hovering....
Fair enough. I stand corrected.

I'm uncomfortable that I live in a country that celebrates the fact that a 96 year old women is still working on behalf of it and thousands turn up to stare at her.
Accompanied by the fact the mobility issues of a 96 year old are now a news item.
I find it equally disturbing that her successor is beyond retirement age.
The monarchy needs serious review but so does our expectancy of it. If we are going to continue with an hereditary principle, there has to be a point where the "constitution" states they retire gracefully.
Otherwise they are simply animals in a zoo.

I thought Prince Charles rode extremely well for 73, steering the horse with one hand.

Thank for backing up my point.
Calling old Lizzie a horse is disrespectful. Shame on you. ����
Hope you were OK.

I too saw all race, creeds, sexes, and I understand a significant representation from the LGBTQISR+ community. On the BBC programme now plenty of great memories of Her Majesty from her reign in Scotland and her affection for Scotland despite their issues knows no bounds. Great to see her guidance too.

That said The Royal Household is behind the times in terms of employment equality. It banned the non white skinned from senior roles until at least the late 1960s and bizarrely is still except from race and gender equality laws to this day.
That is public record and in 2022 is in desperately need of reform.

Taking away the generalisations, how about one is sensible, considered and well advised, the other is a ‘kin bigoted ********?
That's no way to talk about Her Majesty on a Jubilee weekend. Shame on you.

I thought the reference was to Camilla.

When is this all over? I'm all for people celebrating the Queen if that's their thing but this seems to have been going on for days now. I'm fed up with switching on the news and seeing the umpteenth middle aged "expert" who once wrote a book on the history of the queens handbags. They all say the same bloody thing, theres zero insight from any of these dullards. We know the queen is hard working, we know her faith is important, we know she has had hard times but has come through it. We don't need to be told in excrutiating detail, with summaries on the hour and at half past. There's so little to say other than, old woman still alive.
Blimey the backbiting and vitriol on this thread is something to see. Is there such a thing as a reverse gammon.... I'm sooooo angry.
I went up to London on Wednesday and there was a great atmosphere around buck palace, certainly multicultural. My kid loved it.

This is her leaving party, right?
