During last years Diamond Jubilee celebrations some of our neighbours had organised a joint garden party. Unfortunately rain stopped play!  Instead we stopped inside in the warm and watched the Jubilee Flotilla on the television.

This is one of the photographs that I took from the BBC coverage of the Jubilee Flotilla.

More Red, White, Blue can be found in the gallery.

“Congratulations on your diamond jubilee and long may you reign.”

In celebration of the Diamond Jubilee I had planned to attend the ‘three gardens party’ arranged by my neighbours for Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas… It turned bitterly cold overnight and there was torrential rain all day.

Mum was visiting for an evening meal and we decided that discretion was the better part of valour so the afternoon was spent watching the BBC coverage of the Flotilla along the Thames. I took a few photographs of the BBC coverage and this is one of them.

In celebration of the event (and another upcoming one) we cracked a bottle of bubbly to accompany our evening meal.
