The Royal Wedding

[annwfyn]

Well, that was awesome!

I got to watch it in Greenwich market, where it had been set up on a nice little TV, whilst drinking a truly gorgeous strawberry milkshake on a nice sunny day that I had been given as a holiday because of said wedding. There were dresses, carriages, men in uniforms, people waving union jacks, 'Jerusalem', and a very pretty set of horses. Plus I got to see the soothing sight of the Queen, reminding me once more that I never need face the hideous prospect of 'President Cameron'.

All in all, it was everything I expect from my Royal Family.

Now, when will Prince Harry do his duty by us all and take the plunge?

I really enjoyed what I saw of it

And didn't Her Majesty look fabulous in that shade of yellow? It was truly awesome.

I tend to associate "Jerusalem" with borstals, because it's one of the songs used in The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner... so when I dropped by the television, it made me grin more than weep ;)

I'm reminded of one of the reasons I'm a monarchist: on a day where the Syrian army is shooting civilians on the street on the orders of their president, it's nice to know the head of our armed forces is a slightly doolally 85 year old woman.

Prince Harry does have lovely hair.

What's Jerusalem?

A song.

It's kind of the unofficial English National Anthemn.

I thought the English National Anthem was either "London Calling" or the theme song for Doctor Who?

How can you sing the theme song from Doctor Who at a rugby match?

Tell the story through dance.

We really need to get this attempted at a rugby game! It'd be the perfect counter to the Haka!

Rubbish. That spot is clearly reserved for the Archer's theme tune...

As soon as he can finish undoing all of those buttons down the back of Philippa Middleton's dress.

So I'm not the only one who thought that, huh?

Sounds like a pleasant day.

I'm so jealous! I was up to watch it live from my house but that was all I could do :-(

I love the Queen. :D I was sad I missed her last year when she was visiting.

Though Wills and Kate are coming here in June, I think.
