This is a bit weird.

It's like we know nothing about the Queen, she's sat there listening this to this shite.

DH has just said as much. I always wonder whether she thinks "Bloody hell not another celebratory whatnot that I'm obliged to attend. What I'd really like to do is stick my onesie on, grab a bag of Mini Eggs and watch my Breaking bad box set"

It's painfully bad, no wonder she's got s face like a wet weekend.

I think its a bit weird too. a bit of a jumble. horses, music, history of the queen (yet again)

I didn't know Carson had married umbridge.

It's cringe-worthy. Prince William looks bored shitless.

Gary Barlow has morphed musically in to Elton John. Poor queen.

probably the first time I've thought the queen earns her money, having to sit through things like this all the time.

she's probably thinking, okay I'm 90, fuck this, time to join mummy

As a rider I'm watching for the horses. I love the Shetland Grand National

The massive arena isn't really helping. Agree they all look bored shitless. It's not the Olympics opening ceremony...

I'm enjoying it. I love that the military are so involved in it.

Thought Helen Mirren looked good.

Some of the horses were frothing at the mouth and others looked uncomfortable with the bits. Is it cruel?

No it's not cruel

Definitely true re Gary Barlow/Elton John!

Bet the queen is wishing she could bugger off back to Windsor castle for some cocoa and to watch 'gogglebox ' on C4. This is painful. I'm going to bed.

Helen Mirren looks different. Kind of hamster-cheeked. Had to larf at the ironic jump-cut to Queen and D of E looking utterly naffed off as Mirren was talking about their inspiring marriage.

Prince Philip looks ill. A bit OTT on the war for our German relations.

At least we can change the channel, although I'm watching as I keep thinking it will get better, the queen and prince Phillip are stuck there until the end!

Christ, Gary Barlow and Katherine Jenkins on the same bill. Smugness overload. All we need now is Russell Watson.

And WTF with the cars at the beginning while Elton Gary sang that truly awful song.

I bet she's wishing they would all just feck off.
