Another Housemartins opus bespeaking of the queen:

The people who grinned themselves to death
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath
And even when their kids were starving
They all thought the queen was charming

I thought the Queen looked dazzling in her white suit. Very pretty.

Tonight we have the Jubilee concert. The guests , to be honest, leave me cold apart from Madness singing Our House on Buck House roof.
Apparently there will be tweaking of lyrics

Am very fond of Madness, my bruv looked just like Suggs, flat top and all

Oh, there's twenty-thousand grandmas
Wave their hankies in the air
All burning up their pensions
And shouting, "It's not fair!"
There's a regiment of soldiers
Standing looking on
And the queen is bravely shouting,
"What the hell is going on?"

With a blood-curdling "tally-ho"
She charged into the ranks
And blessed all those grandmas who
With their dying breaths screamed, "Thanks!"

Prince Philip in hospital, misses jubilee concert (AP)

---
Margaret Watson, 73, in the crowd near Buckingham Palace on Monday, remembered watching the Coronation on the television set which her family bought especially to watch the event.

"I am here to say thank you to the queen for all she has done," said Watson, who came to London from Yorkshire in northern England with family members. "I am just so pleased to have lived through her reign."

General consensus of a varitety of English tweeters, emailers, updaters, re: jubilee concert:

maniacal laughter b/w "pass the sick bucket"

I am now feeling sorry for HMQ, she looks like she is undertaking an endurance test, surely at her age this is cruel and unusual punishment.
I reckon DOE is quite content tucked up in bed.

I think The Rolling Stones should be there paying their respects. Are they?

Also get well wishes to Prince hilip, he looks do very dashing all dressed up!

I think The Rolling Stones should be there paying their respects. Are they?

I agree but they aren't playing. There is friction between Mick and Keith apparently or so I read somewhere
