Despite the weather being extremely poor and the Duke of Edinburgh having to be taken to hospital for half of it, the weekend was a blast! Sunday's Pageant down the Thames with the launch of a literal thousand ships was a sight to behold especially at one point the DoE and the Queen were seen swaying and tapping their feet in appreciation to some music.
And music was definitely the highlight of the weekend with the Jubilee concert on Monday evening. Aside from the breaking news of the DoE and the Queen turning up an hour and half late for it wearing fetching yellow ear plugs, the music was top notch. Songs and artists from every decade that the Queen has been in power for. As well as an amazing picture display on Buckingham Palace roof as Madness rocked out their hit 'Our House' from the rooftops. But the highlight of the night had to be the song written by Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Weber with the voices from around the Commonwealth as well as the lovely speech delivered by Prince Charles.
Whilst Tuesday was all official with the service in St Paul's Cathedral, lunch in Westminster and the showing on the balcony, the best moment of the entire day for me was recognised as number 2 in the '10 best moments by Metro.co.uk'
Unfortunately, with this and the Big Brother launch last night. I'm having to spend today in recuperation. My head is in pieces! But this morning I was cheered up by noticing one of the baby chicks nesting in my front door getting ready for flight for the first time.

However you spent the Jubilee, whether pro or con the Royals, I hope you had a great time :)
