JUBILEE JOY - welcoming our guests

Dear valued visitor...

So glad to see you here,

The warmest of warm welcomes

In this very special year -

 

When we celebrate a diamond Queen

Upon an ancient throne,

While Olympic gems will have a sheen

With royalty of their own.

 

Our land is proudly on parade,

Its capital playing host,

With traditions that will never fade

(Though it's not our way to boast).

 

The best of now and what will be

Will meet beneath the Crown;

The World is coming here to see

The show in London town.

 

So step this way for Olympic dreams

And a country rich in its Queen;

We humbly hope this year gleams

With the best that's ever been.

 

And when at last you must depart

We hope you'll keep us in your heart.

.......................................................................

I love the way the Queen manages to unite so many in this old country of ours...not forgetting vast numbers abroad. I even found myself watching a late night CBS (USA) news report of HM's visit to Epsom for The Derby and they did her proud. We can forget how much she means to the rest of the world and no matter whether you are a monarchist or a republican, her value to the UK and its people cannot be over-estimated.
Harry's latest post is a fitting tribute.
Three Cheers!

Oo er - I've come over all patriotic - I've a mind to go and buy myself a union Jack mini dress, a la Gerry Halliwell... or maybe I've had to much to drink :) A good antidote to all the knockers, MC. All the kids, in all the schools have a had a really lovely day today. There isn't much that unites us nowadays - it's nice to celebrate something that does!

An antidote to the sneering.
The knighthood's in the post.
