I spotted Edward and Sophie at the concert and spotted Sophie on one of the boats, I think the same boat as Kate's Mum and Pippa (I assume her Dad as well but wouldn't recognise him.)

No, Edward and Sophie were there..............clapping out of tune.

:-D

Andrews gels seemed to be enjoying themselves and singing along.

Those two have been very low profile all the way through the Jubilee celebrations....seen Andrew and Ann a lot but not Edward.

Sophie was at the palace yesterday because I saw a pic of her wearing a really odd trouser suit in the paper.

Not may favourite royals anyhow so it's a result for me lol x

I had the hump before it started, cos I put in for tickets and didn't get them.
:-0

So I watched it on tv...............nearly turned off cos old Robbie was the first one on. Strutting and gurning does not make you a good singer, son.

Cliff was a bit dodgy, or the sound system was up the creek. Got to admire Grace singing and hoola hooping at the same time.

MY PAUL did quite well, loved the pyrotechnics for Live And Let Die.

Alfie Bose is a revelation aint he? Great pitch and a bit dishy at the same time, although I did not know the American lady he was singing with on the balcony.

Stevie and Elton performed well, although I am not sure why Wil-I-am came on to sing with Stevie.

I thought Lang Lang looked like Michael McIntyre.

Concert over, I watched the fireworks out of my window.

I do love a good sparkler.
:-D

Cof W - presume Annie Lennox was wearing Angel wings as she was singing 'There must be an Angel".
Would think that Madness was on the roof otherwise the fantastic lighting couldn't have been appreciated had they been down at street level. Many of the numbers were chosen for the artist as they had a theme to do with the celebration, hence Shirley Bassey's Diamonds are Forever. I also think that Robby Williams sang a Frank Sinatra number 'Mack the Knife' because the Queen admired him ( Frank Sinatra not Robbie Williams).
All in all I think there was something for everyone although I have to admit, I kept channel hopping as I wanted to see Rita get wed.-jl

Well, I think the man who organised the river pageant deserves the knighthood - 1000 craft from all over the world, the current, the bells, the music, the safety, and the perils of the weather (which he could do nothing about :-)).

But, there weren't any 'celebrities' involved (other than ER), so I guess he doesn't get a look-in ;-)
