Is Anyone Doing Anything For The Platinum Jubilee?

[SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows]

I’m on holiday that week but haven’t really thought what to do. We don’t really know our neighbours so a street party is out. Perhaps I’ll ask DM & DF if they fancy meeting up for a little tea party. And there’ll be loads on tv. I might even buy some trashy commemorative bits!

I'm singing in the choir for a jubilee celebration concert our county is holding in the local cathedral. The Southbank Sinfonia are headlining and Gareth Malone is presenting it. Raising money for local hospices. I'm looking forward to it.

Leaving the country ☺️👍

I'm using the extra time to go on holiday to Italy. I'm in Scotland. I think displays of royal celebration might be somewhat less prevalent than in England.

I live in a particularly anti-monarchist corner of Wales, so thankfully will not have any flag waving or bunting round these parts!

What is there to celebrate really?

I'll be doing nothing. Sums up what the monarchy mean to me.

It’s my birthday on the 3rd so we will be celebrating me instead!

We're having a street party. As much for the community aspect - sharing food, drink and good times with neighbours after an awful few years.

And I'll be judging anyone who judges anyone who participates in any Jubilee event.

I'm getting married on the 2nd and leaving the country on the 3rd. Cheers for the Bank Holidays Liz!

No. I'm in favour of abolishing the monarchy so I'd be a fairly big hypocrite if I had any interest in celebrating any part of it.

It's my birthday so that'll be ruined by all the bank holiday noise and I'll be fuming for days.

Thanks for posting this op. You’ve reminded to book a long weekend out of the country to get away from it.

We’re on holiday in Cornwall then I’m going to see Liam Gallagher at Knebworth. Pleased about the bank hols tbh.

I literally couldn't care less... I don't even know when it is

Hopefully yes any excuse for a bit of joy in life but she may not last that long..

Another one leaving the country - hurrah!

I can’t see what we’re celebrating 🤷‍♀️.

Nope, not in the slightest bit interested..

We are having a street party.
As much to celebrate the Community of (now) friends that has grown from the WhatsApp group set up 2 years ago at the start of the Pandemic when people were offering to help one another out.

We've been aiming to, just to get together for the community, and this is a good 'hook' to hang it on.

We don’t really know our neighbours so a street party is out.

Well, that is how you would get to know them, as happened in our road in 1977 for the Silver Jubilee.

We are also holding one at Church, and inviting the congregation of a Church that uses our building, where so many folk don't speak English either - not sure how not speaking English prevents you from enjoying a tea party

Hopefully there will be a street party. Should be a good weekend!🎉🤩🍹

Yes will throw a tea party at work but it is a church

I want to know where these particularly anti monarchy / pro republican areas of Wales and Scotland are so I can book a mini break I live in a particularly royalist area and would like to not be at home that weekend.

Absolutely not. As a republican I'll be avoiding at all costs.

Definitely not I’ll avoid the concert like the plague. Stranger things that weekend instead s4 will be 0ut well part one anyway.

So far it seems very London-centric and, even if it wasn't, I don't care about it all nor does anyone I know.

@mummysquasher I''d say most of Scotland outside of 'Royal' Deeside.

We are making the most of the bank holidays and going to Lanzarote for a week.

Means DH and I only need to use 3 days annual leave and the kids only miss 3 days of school.

God Bless Her Majesty.
