The Diamond Jubilee Concert
 
I just flicked this on to find Grace Jones arriving on stage with a hulla-hoop, which she proceeded to twirl through the whole of her song. I just googled her age she's 64! Her outfit was a triumph of engineering....by God whatever she's on I could do with a bit of it. I do hope Canadian telly carries this, it's unmissable in a hide behind the cushion sort of a way.

You cant really blame Phil for deciding to fake a bladder infection... bet the Queen wished she had thought of it first.

My friends are dispersed around the streets of London and inside buckingham palace for the concert and Hyde park.

I'm disappointed to not be there as it looks excellent and they're all amazed by the camaraderie of everybody. The favourite so far has been madness playing our house from buckingham palace.

I don't think there are many places in the world who could pull it off in that way.

My family and friends all enjoyed street party celebrations during the afternoon too.

It's great for the country :thumbup:

It was funny as stubbed out a rollie before she got on the stage. At least she has a sense of decorum and wasn't stood there puffing away.
