The Last Day of Diamond Jubilee Celebrations

and the last day of my holiday!

BANK HOLIDAY TUESDAY

The Queen greets the crowds from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.


A Million people fill the Mall to join in the
Diamond Jubilee Celebrations.



Not the day I had planned. I was going out early, but an ear infection that I have had on and off for a while now seemed worse today and I didn't feel well enough to go out sadly. Although I enjoyed enormously watching all the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations on TV today – very emotional and amazing scenes in London. A procession through London and service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral and a balcony appearance in front of a million people filling the Mall, ended the celebrations today. I really wish I had gone to London now. Also watched the highlights of the Jubilee Concert last night - Jessie J's voice is just awesome. The unbelievable lighting show to accompany Madness's performance on the roof of Buckingham Palace was something else – streets from around the country were projected on to the front of the palace. A row of terraced houses were shown with a red bus and a black tax cab driving past it - just incredible! The Diamond Jubliee song that Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber produced 'Sing' was performed on stage with all the artists that Gary had discovered from all around the world - a beautiful performance - the little girl who starts and ends the song is the star though:

'Sing' has gone straight to No 1 in the charts!
