Question High's and Low's of the Diamond Jubilee!?

Now it's all over what was your high and low of the Diamond Jubilee?

My high was Madness performing on the roof of the Palace.

My low was most of the rest of it!

An high for me was the Queen's smile on the balcony today. I am by no means a Royalist, but I found it somewhat touching.

The high-not watching television.
The low-realizing how near the Olympics are.

The low - the pathetic concert. The inane commentaries from the BBC presenters
The high - the flotilla and the people who waited in the rain to catch a glimpse of the Queen

Yes - a high, and Charles Camilla and Philip bobbing up and down to the Sailor's Hornpipe as they do at the last night of the Proms. And the Queen's obvious enjoyment of the whole event.

Yes - knew the concert would be a low, that's why I didn't watch. And totally agree about the BBC's coverage of the whole weekend. Bring back Richard Dimbleby!

Yes, Richard Dimbleby would have shown them how a real presenter does it....and would have lent a bit of gravitas to the proceedings. I was ashamed to think that the BBC was beaming these broadcasts around the world.
