Grin even

gettingeasier · 03/06/2012 18:10

Yep I enjoyed it too although agree YANBU about the likes of Anneka who was toe curling

HmmThinkingAboutIt · 03/06/2012 18:12

Oh whoopppeee Barry Garlow. Can't wait.

Are people camping out for their front row spot yet?

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 03/06/2012 18:13

Gary fucking Tory Barlow? Great.

I will watch if Prince Harry promises to play the tambourine/

Not my idea of a good line up tbh but then i'm not the guest of honour.

LapisBlue · 03/06/2012 18:15

glass of gin and tonic now, I think.

But Anneka and the weird painter on the bridge and all the others who just wanted to be involved are what makes this country so great. We should embrace the toe curling and the weird and strange cos it is only this country where it would happen.

I cant wait to see what we do now for the opening of the olympics

HmmThinkingAboutIt · 03/06/2012 18:15

Can anyone recommend a good DVD?

The only thing Queenie was interested in about the concert when she talked to Barry was how long they'll take removing the stage and how all the royal bedrooms are at the front of the palace...

I have to admit it is much more fun watching these things with a live feed like this. It just makes the whole thing more entertaining.

RabidAnchovy · 03/06/2012 18:17

Wonder if the news will be any better Hmm

Wills hasn't got his arm round Kate as he isn't allowed to in uniform.

Sorry I thought you should be saying:

HmmThinkingAboutIt · 03/06/2012 18:18

Edward and Sophie were voted out when the Middletons were brought in.

jandymaccomesback · 03/06/2012 18:24

I thought I saw Sophie. Maybe it was the nanny's day off and Edward stayed at home with the children Grin

Sophie was on main boat with Queen

What does attended by mean?

Are William, Harry and Kate above Andrew and Anne?
