Always, in South Africa, the discussion ran on the lines of when would the Queen give up already and let Charles, or even William , be King?
It was never more obvious than over this Jubilee Celebration , that the answer is never.
The Queen took a Solemn and Holy Vow, she will be Queen until she dies.
And to see her over this holiday, the unshaken belief she has that this is her absolute duty, sanctioned by God, is unmistakable.
Of course, 2 posts ago I did say summer was here, so what do I know? She may just say 'Fuck It' tomorrow morning , stay in bed and let Charles take over....
I have , though , never seen anything as amazing as the show put on over this long Bank Holiday weekend. The Poms do this kind of thing better than anyone else .
At the end of that magnificent concert, when 100 000 people sang God Save The Queen, I was 'totes emosh' (as the Essex Girls say)
A tearful rendition of the National Anthem was delivered by me, towards the Queen on the TV
(standing, of course, couldn't help myself)
Note: Must learn that bloody second verse!
The nation held its breath when Sir Elton sat down at the piano...would he play Candle in the Wind? Can you just imagine?
Those who thought Grace Jones and Stevie Wonder were mad and/or drunk, may not have realised that the same day of the concert was actually the Queen's official birthday.
Lenny Henry has given his last performance ever I think, after that cringeworthy appearance, but Gary Barlow is up for a knighthood for sure!
Loved it (even the bad bits)
Was a very Proud Pom.
Thank goodness we can get back to normal now, oh, no, forgot..it's the Olympics...
