I am normally neither for or against the Monarchy. This blog is not to discuss or argue whether they should or should not be here its simply some pics of how we as a family got caught up in the Queens Diamond Jubilee Celebrations.
Marcus with some cool Union Jack sunglasses on with a plate of fabulous fresh cream meringues.
Just too cool!
Paper Doilies! No British home should be without them for everything to sit on at celebrations!
Marcus at the Beacon. Lit in Elgin on the Monday night.
One of the 4000 Beacons lit around the Commonwealth.
Proud Mother moment as Kelly ( in green holding the sign) lead the WRVS though the town in the Diamond Jubilee Parade. She does volunteer work for them at the Hospital Shop/cafe.
Finally Myself and Marcus who is devouring a Hot sauage roll waiting on the parade to pass. Old Fire engine below was one that trundled past
I am laughing over the paper doilies...that made me smile. I cant remember last time I saw a doilie except maybe in my craft drawer. I dont see how you couldn't get caught up in the celebration, it is history and i would think it would bring everyone closer together. At least for a little while lol. Real reasons to celebrate aren't that often. I still wish I had been at the beacon lighting...that looked cool!

Its true Beth! Its not a party unless all the food is sat on them LOL.
DeleteLooks like you all had fun. If Noah was older we may have put political differences aside and joined in more. That said, I had my "Bah Humbug" hat on and avoided most of it.
ReplyDeleteVery True Roger, It is normally something I don't take part in either but when the kids get involved you have to just get on with it and cheer along with the others lolol. Marcus came home from school with a bag full of Queen stuff and Kelly was in the parade! Your time with come too LOL
