The blasted headache is still hanging on. It has partly subsided, but still poking at me at times. I'll get through it but there will be bits of complaint along the way <grin>.
Between small household tasks, I listened to part of the Platinum Jubilee Pageant today. It was difficult when the news channel kept interrupting for general chit-chat about things they thought were royal, but not celebratory in any way <sigh> Finally, I found it online, but had without interpretation of the four main segments of the parade. At the end, Ed Sheeeran performed Perfect while photos of the Queen and HRH Prince Philip were projected on the palace walls. The finale followed that performance. I was so pleased to see the Queen available for a brief balcony appearance with the heirs and family. That made me smile but brought tears, too.
Later I found pieces of the Party at the Palace from last night online. This made me smile more. <smile> The still photos and video projected on Buckingham Palace told the story of her lifetime not only her time as monarch. Several wonderful performances were part of this evening event.I loved the segment with songs from five musicals with the opening banter sung between Andrew Lloyd Webber and Lyn Manuel Miranda. The opening video was the Queen having tea with Paddington Bear where she shared with him that she kept her marmalade sandwiches in her purse rather than a hat. <grin> She does have a great sense of humour.
I chose to share here the opening sequence of the concert from last evening. I loved the entrance of the guitar player who wasn't on the palace rooftop for this jubilee celebration -- but they found a wonderful high point. <grin> Keep safe. Enjoy!
