....Or at least as close as we'll ever get! Today begins The Platinum Jubilee and HRM Queen Elizabeth II's official birthday celebration commemrating her 70 years of rule and 96 years of life. So to celebrate in solidarity with our host culture we enjoyed a pot of tea and watched the celebration of the "Trooping the Colour" parade at Buckingham Palace from the comfort of our living room!
The annual celebration of the Sovereign's birthday, traditionally celebrated each year in early June (no matter when the sovereign's actual birthday falls) is the most patriotic time of year in the United Kingdom and celebrated with parades, flyovers, fireworks, street parties, and a four day weekend complete with Union Flags and bunting.
