The Queens Jubilee; Part 3
The last 24 hours of the Queens Jubilee proved as remarkable as the first 72.
Monday evening, we let the kids stay up past their bedtime to watch part of the concert on TV. C’s line during the singing-
“I hope the Queen is alive when I am a grown-up.” Why? “Because I will write a great song. That’s what I do when I build Lego.” Which is true- he likes to sing while building.
Tuesday, we all got dressed up in our best and went to The Royal Automobile Club on Pall Mall for the festivities. It was a special treat- usually kids under 13 aren’t allowed inside. They made a special exception for the Jubilee Weekend, so we watched the carriage procession down The Mall on a Big Screen TV! Actually the RAC is only 100 meters off The Mall, but the crowds and weather wouldn’t have been much fun.
And since the RAC is so close to The Mall, the flyover went right over our heads out in the garden. Spectacular!
Being within the crowd in the Club Room at the RAC was a bit moving- spontaneously people breaking out in applause and singing God Save The Queen.
In between events, we all went for a quick swim in their pool.
