Marking 60 years of the Queen's Reign here.
We have two bank holidays especially just to celebrate next weekend and Monday and Tuesday as well. Are any of my British fellow Countrymen celebrating? What do you have planned?

Yay for the Queen!  *Throws glitter in the air, since she's Canadian and it's her queen too* Though I think we celebrate it a different day. Not sure, but it's confusing.

Well... I'm not British... but I like Queen Elizabeth II, so congratulations lovely Queen! *curtsies* 60 years is quite an accomplishment. *starts humming God Save the Queen* I love that tune.  Meanwhile, over here in the states we're having Memorial Day weekend, so we also have tomorrow as a holiday. It is a time to commemorate our troops.  So, I want to give a big hearty thanks to those who have served/are serving in the U.S. Army right now. It takes lots of courage to do what you do.But, since this thread is about the Queen, I give her back the spotlight. *curtsies* *starts humming Rule Britannia* |

So, ironically, yesterday Mom was cleaning out one of her old wallets, and she found 20 pounds left in there... They reminded me of this thread. Once again, congratulations, Queen Elizabeth II!

She's my queen too! We're not doing much celebrating, but I was there over Easter and I collect spoons, so I bought a Jubilee spoon. I also got my sister a bookmark with the queen on it. @Az: We don't celebrate Queen Elizabeth's coronation, or her birthay, or anything. We celebrate Victoria Day on the Monday before the 24th of May -Queen Victoria's birthday. She was the longest reigning British monarch, I think. I may be wrong. So, happy Diamond Jubliee, everyone. |

Lady Elanor is British? 0.0 We have our friend Sian, a staunch Brit, here visiting us right now, so we celebrated the Queen's Diamond Jubilee (the day after) with getting a lesson on English nobility and the generations of the recent royalty. And watched bits of it on YouTube.

Lady Rwebhu, I can hardly believe this escaped your attention... maybe we need a "Re-introductions" thread. Oh! So cool that Sian finally made it over to your house... I guess she'll be heading to the States soon. |

* grins * How was I supposed to know that Preston is located in England? And Sian has too many siblings to keep track of...not to speak of friends. Lady Elanor Mimetes wrote: I am.

Visit us!A re-introductions thread for some of the older members would be cool...it would be nice for the new guys, to find out who's who and all. Dr. W. Eli McGowan wrote: Oh!

Jay did invite me, he said whenever I was over there I should visit; I have just never been to Ireland yet. *Grins* Yea, Sian sure does have lots of brothers and sisters! Tell her I said Hi!

Were Adele, Coldplay, or U2 there? Yeah... I'd miss such a wonderful person too, Rwebhu. Sian... gotta love that adopted sister to all of us.

*laughs * Oh my Grandma filled us in on all the events and such, and kept up a running commentary through the intercom about things. My Grandma loved Princess Diana, so she follows all the Royal Family's affairs.
