In case you've been under a rock lately (i'm positive it got plenty of press even in the states) - you might have hear that this past weekend was the celebration of Queen Elizabeth's 60 year anniversary on the throne - The Diamond Jubilee.
My friend Amanda arrived in London on Thursday morning and I joined her Friday afternoon after my work week in Wales. We set-off for Zoo Lates - where the London Zoo stays open late for much merriment on Friday nights in June/July. We raised a toast, tried some PIMMs, played with monkeys and boogied at the silent disco.
Saturday we enjoyed a lovely Jubilee tea at Fortnum & Mason in Picadilly before heading out to root England onto a win of Belgium in a pre-Euro friendly. Sunday we camped out, with a jubilatory picnic of course, to watch the impressive River Pageant. The best picture of Brenda (as those close to the Queen know her) is when she's on the launch (that tiny person in white, with Phillip beside her).
We capped the lovely weekend off with more flag waving, a great Coldplay concert and general merriment. I wouldn't mind if Brenda wanted to celebrate every year :-)
