I'm shocked nobody made a thread about this, though I guess you 'Merikans don't really care. :P Did anybody else here, British or not, watch any of the celebrations? I watched some of the concert, but only really Lang Lang, Ed Sheeran, Madness and Paul McCartney (who was the best). I didn't really watch the boat thing, but my brother did.

Indeed I did watch the boat thing, thought it was pretty good but it was getting a bit boring towards the end though (it was pretty long, I nearly fell asleep at the end)

Watched some of the concert too, Cheryl Cole etc really aren't my thing . . . but I watched Madness and Paul McCartney with Firegoose, they were pretty good :)

Didn't watch any of it or see anything related to it, and I'm in London. I am a terrible Englishman

I've said this many times to Sharp, but I'm pretty disappointed Brian May didn't do this again, though I did see him in the crowd.

I do have to say, Prince Charles' speech and the anthem with the flame being lit was a great moment. I would've loved to be there for McCartney's performance and Charles' speech afterwards.

Lol, you're a "republican?"  Treasonous words they be. :P I'm not massively patriotic about the Jubilee, but it was a once in a life time moment.

Nah, just been too busy for TV really - my degree finishes tomorrow so I've been working non-stop pretty much. I do like the Queen though, I think she seems like a nice lady (though Americans seem to care waaay more about our royals than we do)

Not really a once in a lifetime moment, there was the silver, and the gold, and there might even be the platinum.

Firetooth

It is for me. I wasn't even alive for the Silver Jubilee, and I can't remember much of the Golden Jubilee. I doubt there'll be a platinum jubilee, for one. She's 86, so the Diamond Jubilee is probably the last one there'll be. Even if a new monarch comes in tomorrow, they'd still have to rule another 60 years, so if I do see another Diamond Jubilee, it's not going to be a for a long time.

What's a diamond Jubilie?

Genevieve

You seem to have already mastered the act of typing in a url, and typing stuff in a box and then clicking "post". So I would say that you probably already have the skills needed to find that our for yourself.

 That's true, sorry to be rude.

Far as I'm concerned, the Queen is just a little old lady with a shiny hat. (That's direct from Russell Brand. LOL.)

I know, my feelings weren't hurt. None the less it was still rude to ask somebody else to type it out for me rather than just going to google and doing it myself.

Hey, she also does lots of diplomatic stuff. Though I admit she doesn't really do anything important, she's quite a busy woman, especially considering her age.
