Platinum party at the palace : bbc one 7.30 pm

[the80sweregreat]

Anyone tuning in to this or too busy jubileeing elsewhere ? Thought I'd start a thread .

I'm currently watching ITV from the Manchester arena.

Nice to see you on here Nancy !!
Hope your well.
I'm shocked that Gary Barlow isn't doing a number .. he is usually a shoe in

At the Diamond Jubilee concert, she was watching with ear-mufflers on!

The thread for the last concert was funny ..
mumsnetters are great at these live events !
Madness were good one year : they lit up the palace like council flats !!

Looking forward to the commentary here. Like another poster I would rather watch paint dry, and I'm grumpy tonight for some reason. But anyway, half the show is taken up with introductions from MC who has far too much to say, "spectacular" lighting, getting the crowd excited, and finally...... the act. At that point I'm gone to the kitchen for another drink.

Would love to see Madness, that's more like it.

If George Ezra sings that dreadful Shotgun song. AArgh! 😡

🖐🖐80s! I wouldn’t miss this, although I do think a bit of Napalm death would have been right up her Maj’s street!

I think Elton is pre recorded, I don’t think he’s well enough to perform live - not sure how hood that will be for people in the crowd

I've not been invited to any street parties and this is the second night I've had to listen to loud music from 'over the back. '
Our road is so boring.
However, I have asda wine and crisps and trifle and a ' spectacular' night of pop stars to listen to, what can go wrong ? .. 😂

Madness stole the show the last time ( 2012 ? ) the one where the Duke ended up in hospital?
They were great.
Grace Jones did a hula hoop show too !

I haven’t been invited to any street parties either, I think the neighbours are waiting until I go out & will rush out with tables & food!

I remember Grace Jones, she was suitably bonkers for the occasion

Napalm death !! Lol
The really big rock stars are avoiding this
I'd be happy with Bruce Springsteen myself , but only of he did ' born to run '!

They just said it was opening with Queen and Adam Lambert so who knows.

Born to Run might be a bit close to home, what with Harry running of to America & all that 😂

Signing in.

I’m in a foul mood and the dog is being an arse.

Rod Stewart may cheer me up.

Capyourdoff
Love your username
I've been a bit down too and there is more to come tomorrow ; it feels like it's been on for weeks and not days thus far !

I'm in a shitty mood after my kids ruined a nice lunch out. So I'm hoping it will either cheer me up or give me something to take the piss out of

Rod is funny. He was out repairing roads in Essex in a high vis the other week
I do like him and his wife

I wonder if Craig David will sing the same song he’s been remixing for the last 30 years, that will make a nice change

Craig David ! Why ?
He hasn't had a hit since 1999
He believes he is ' massive ' in his own head

I might have imagined this but has Rod’s wife being a policewoman? I’m sure I read it somewhere but am doubting myself

Rods wife penny , is a special police officer !

I didn’t imagine it? Why on Earth is she doing that???

Is there another one on tomorrow night?

According to Rod , she wants to ' give something back ' ! She loves it apparently
