A small tribute from two of Her Majesty’s subjects!
Jean and I managed to watch the hour-long tribute by Prince Charles to his mother’s wonderful Diamond Jubilee week-end.
Here’s a small extract of that programme that appeared on ITN News.
Then thanks to Martin Lack’s latest Post, I discovered that You Tube have the full programme as well. Here it is – do watch it if you can, it is a lovely, personal and intimate reflection by Prince Charles.
At the end of the programme, both Jean and I felt very nostalgic about the long reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. However much we appreciate the life that we have here in Payson, Arizona, these two old Londoners still feel proud to be British.
There’s a great website here full of all the details of this very special time for Britain.
Finally, the extreme dry conditions of our forest mean that lighting a Jubilee Beacon here at home is out of the question. The following is our alternative:
It’s what Jean and I do most Sunday evenings anyway!

At the risk of sounding a bit too regal myself, I am glad to have been of service. 🙂

I can think of many attributes that I admire in you, but afraid to say that ‘regal’ isn’t one of them! 😉

Paul,
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to your Queen Mother and your country. It is my sincere belief that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has reigned with compassion, integrity and a love for her subjects. I can totally understand your and Jean’s pride and love for your Queen Mother and your country! Enjoy the celebration! I will most definitely be watching the entire programs you have on your post later today and tomorrow.
Merci
