Have also switched to Sky - is much better - even though it's Eamon Bloody Holmes Hmm

One feels that one ought to watch it on Auntie and my dear departed mother would be horrified but I've switched over the Sky too and it's a vast improvement.

They should open the barrier to give some tide. That would make it interesting.

Is the Queen cargo now?

coffeeinbed · 03/06/2012 16:29

Don't mention Eamonn, managing to blank out his voice so far!

rhondajean that's where my son is. Very annoyed with BBC coverage. Turned over to Sky - their coverage is better, at least I'm now seeing glimpses of the Avenue of Sails

Blowing hard.....hanging limply?

enimmead · 03/06/2012 16:30

I'm guessing we'll now have an 1 1/2 of all the boats going by.

cupcake78 · 03/06/2012 16:31

Is it still on? I got bored over 40mins ago. Queenie looks frozen, she was behind the throne to protect her from the wind. Bet DoE has a hip flask hidden somewhere Wink.

Ahhh LOVE a Navy Uniform Grin

RabidAnchovy · 03/06/2012 16:31

The rain is 'bouncing'. Says Dough Face

enimmead · 03/06/2012 16:32

I'm guessing the Queen will now have to stand in the rain and wave for the next 1 1/2 hours.

QuintessentialShadows · 03/06/2012 16:32

Poor Queen. I think the Queen of Norway should have sent her a personal gift of wool undies and base layers.

RabidAnchovy · 03/06/2012 16:32

I was hoping for a hand break turn in to the jetty
