Just a few photos of the celebrations that have been held in our lovely country, it certainly makes you very proud.  The pageant was amazing just such a shame about the weather.

Most of the photos care of the Daily Telegraph website!!

Normal blog services will resume later this week! hope everyone enjoyed the celebrations, needless to say it is absolutely pouring down here in Devon, oh well back to the ironing board!

    Hi Jill,

    Your photo's of the Jubilee celebrations are the first I see being away for the weekend. What an impressive event it must have been! I can imagine you being proud to be British. I feel the same about our queen.

    Wonderful images Jill - and yes, I'm SO proud to be British! It was a wonderful long weekend, and when not scoffing scones and tea we were glued to the television and watching the events unfold. The Queen looked marvelous and the Thames pageant was a brilliant sight despite the rain - did you see the poor choir! As a result, I too have been VERY absent from my blog, but as you say - normal service to resume shortly - lol!

    What gorgeous photos!

    It's been such a lovely occasion, hasn't it? It's quite taken my mind of my imending labour!! I love the way we British seem to thrive in the drizzle!
