This weekend saw Great Britain celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s
Diamond Jubilee; 60 years passively ruling over her loyal subjects. The
celebrations featured a Jubilee Pageant down the river Thames, a concert organised
by (the no doubt soon to be honoured) Gary Barlow, and several other events
including a Jubilee thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral.
The Jubilee concert was probably the highlight for most
people, seeing as the pageant was like watching an episode of The One Show – a
wet one at that. The concert featured such big names as Paul McCartney, Stevie
Wonder, Elton John, Tom Jones, Jessie J, Alfie Boe, Madness and… Cheryl Cole.
