It's a different week this week and so things will be a little different on this blog.
We are marking the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, which is something I believe no other reigning monarch has ever managed although in recent years Her Majesties walking ability has declined causing her to miss some events and alternatives ways found for others which at the ripe old age of ninety-six you can well expect.
Yesterday was the special Trouping the Colour which usually would be held on the Saturday rich in its centuries old pageantry, colourful uniforms, horses and carriage processions which with every going around of the Sun I get to enjoy more and more.
It's not that it's quintessentially British, so much that kind of grand event, drilled to the last degree, choreographed is something while a few aspire too only we really pull off and as Her subjects just seem to love.
There was a massive flight pass featuring warplanes from WW2 and modern ones in a spectacular display creating the number 70 but also the Red Arrows team with the red,white and blue smoke coming from them that I loved to see at airshows when I was younger.
