I also noticed the miserable woman sat behind William, wonder what her problem was?😂

This jubilee has seemed a bit more subdued than the rest, but that’s because the Queen’s reign is coming to an end and its been more about saying goodbye than celebrating. The next time we see all the pomp and ceremony of the last few days will be at her funeral. There has been a concerted effort to push Charles and William into the forefront and prepare people for the day she’s not around anymore , but I’m not sure anyone is really prepared and it will hit us all like a ton of bricks when it happens.

I do wonder if the Jubilee plans were kept slightly muted in case the Queen had passed away before we got to the celebrations? Leaving things that could be cancelled without any major dramas? It all feels like everyone is acutely conscious that a 96 year old could slip away at any time.

I think that could be it but it doesn’t explain the rubbish music stars we had 😂

Hi, I hope I’m not asking a stupid question, and I ask respectfully, if this is the Royal Family Thread, why does no one here seem to like the Royal Family? This reads like such a big fu to them, why not call it the anti-RF thread? I’m thinking perhaps a lot more of us RF Fans are lurking here, hesitant to stand up for them for fear of being shouted down. And by more of us, I mean those who respect the Queen for all she’s given for the past 70 years, Revered the world over.
Oh, and about the concert I get people being tired of Elton, and Paul, but tbh, they’re Music Royalty, loved the world over. We give GB huge respect for them. It’s like if you had the Mona Lisa hanging in the British Museum, and you;re complaining it’s so old. So, maybe most posters just don’t like much that happened before video games And everybody started getting a trophy for being there.
BTW, I’m a NYer, but my Mom’s family were Cheshires, and my Nana was Nutty for HMTQ. Taught me to curtsy at age 3, in case I ever met the Queen’. Rats ass chance I’d ever be in the company of royals, but I know how to curtsy! Happy Jubilee :) Here’s to the next one!

As has already been said, There are plenty of us that really enjoy TRF but generally not to the point of being sycophants. We are neither a rave or hate thread.

I wonder why Harry and Meghan didn't attend last night? Bit odd considering everyone was there.

Probably more cost wise. I think they are aware it's getting a load of criticism of the amount spent when 'people are starving'.

I mean, it was hardly stingy and I'm not sure what else could have been put on. Any more and it would have been criticised for being OTT.

I didn’t think they were ever supposed to be. Sure I saw it mentioned when it was reported they were coming over that it was basically Trooping the Colour and the St Paul’s Service?

I find the Royals and the history fascinating … and just about everything we’ve seen recently has been seen in the past, although I do think George IV locking Queen Caroline out of their coronation will take some beating.

I’d just like to say again that as fabulous as the Crown Jewel programme was (and it was) the absolute best part was the woman explaining how the jewels were broken up by Cromwell after the Civil War being called Anna Keay. 1976 me appreciated that highly.

It was pre recorded. I imagine had she been in attendance she would have appeared after they'd run that clip, bit like when she parachuted into the Olympic ceremony and then took her seat.
I see what people mean about the CGI but I think that may have been to do with the Paddington character.
It was lovely and tapping her teacup was the best thing I've seen in a while. 💓 I love when they do this tit.

To be fair, she does have excellent comic timing 😃
