Cool.

Enjoy lauding your fake queen Nicola while we get on celebrating the real thing.

Nicola was in the Royal box for the concert, doubt she enjoyed Rods performance

For what it's worth I think tonight has been very good.

Watched some of the highlights this morning.

Andrea Bocelli was just outstanding.

Plastic bunting really makes a racket in the strong breezes we’re experiencing at the moment.

The SNP is a monachist party, even if they achieved indepenance at present they favour keeping the monarch as head of state.

Sturgeon has waxed lyrical abput the queen many a time and has no desire to see an independent Scotland as a republic.

Not a Royalist by any stretch, but have no issues with those that are, but did we really need 4 days if 24/7 in your face coverage.

Cringe worthy the way some presenters were wetting themselves over it

Considering we paid top dollar for this. Which **** has fucked the microphones when the greatest living Englishman is trying to speak?

Was Phil foden in attendance?

Cool.

Nicola is an evil scheming bastard but at least she was elected unlike our head of state who reaches that office by virtue of being a direct descendent of the Electress of Hanover.

who are ‘they’ and are you basing that on a poll? Not sure I can believe a poll to that extent - based on previous polls throughout the years being wrong

never been asked that question myself nor has anyone I know. 17 million in favour of a republic seems like a ridiculous exaggeration. If that were the case we’d be having mass protests… mass outrage - we have that on a tiny / microscopic scale

The estimate of one third of Brits being republican has never wavered much for a generation.
Up the revolution, brothers.
When queen Victoria went into permanent mourning, republicanism grew strongly so the gov invented a whole raft of “traditions” to bolster monarchy’s popularity.
For example, the trooping of the colour is no ancient ceremony but a piece of Victorian P.R.
Victoria, who had a rep for being randy, eventually relented, came out of mourning and fucked the gardener (allegedly).
God and P.R. Save the Queen.

Speak for yourself you old fucker I'm aiming to be 121 at the end of the century.

I’ll be 152 by then.

I have missed all the celebrations, by not watching TV, not reading newspapers, and being careful about my clicks.
Thank God it will all be over soon.
