God save the Queen
 
that was a wonderful rendition following the huge evening production

starts at about the 6:00 mark

age seems to have been good to Charles...he's almost grown into his ears

as has Gordon:)

well, "hip hip hooray" (x3) for Charles's mummy

thx char...i'd like to see a close up of that image

i wonder if that's Queen Vic or an earlier portrait of QEII on the wall behind the Queen's head in this portrait?


i taped the American network's coverage (maybe it was a BBC feed) and FF'ed straight to the music bits so I missed all the stuff they are talking about here:

i guess the Queen is like the Leafs ... lots of love or hate out there, and lotsa $$$

quite the stats http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/06...y-the-numbers/

would have been nice to have a Canadian performer too (Stevie is USA and Kylie is Aussie, no?)...wow, old Tom Jones has maintained his voice (and tan, lol)

my favourite band Madness played on the roof of the palace during the concert! that was the highlight for me.

I don't know who they are Dan but they were quite impressive as was the artwork displayed on the palace walls as they played..

Didn't Madness do "Our House" in the '80s? I love that song!

then you will love this...i've heard this song a few too many time or at least the "our house" part of it, lol ...i never heard the other song they did...clean sound

like char said, great image stuff also....i wonder how many projection units it takes to do that stuff and how it is all so seamless

I saw the fireworks display that was done over Buckingham Palace & thought it was magnificent to see. And the music that was played along with it was equally marvelous to hear. One couldn't help but feel a part of the whole thing.

this is funny (and a bit stuffy:))...click to magnify the tea party image:

because of the camera angle, it looks as if she's talking to a man in a dress, lol
