Platinum party at the palace : bbc one 7.30 pm part 2

other thread filling up

Queen should have finished up
At least they are from the UK

It's always worth reading the Guardian Liveblog when live events are on... always a good read.

LOL. Knackered with what? She has hardly worked a day in her life. Same as all she Royals.Attending a few events isn't work.

Paddington Bear though!
Absolute legend.

nor Cheryl [insert random surname here]

City of London are MASSIVELY strict about live gigs ending on time. I was once at a Springsteen gig in Hyde Park. Macca joined him on stage, and the venue literally pulled the plug out mid-song.

So maybe that was it.

Even the Queen can't round council regs , drones or no drones

it really was!

Shudders at the thought of Macca

That's going too far

Diana Ross miming was an embarrassment.

Epic night
Guardian funny blog
You lot
And Paddington bear
Made one old girl very happy 😃
!!

@ShirleyJackson what has the city of London got to do with tonight? Buck house isn't in the square mile. The Hyde park thing is due to the royal parks rules which is a government agency of the department of culture media and sport.

Are you sure that was the council? The Hyde Park concerts often go over (we can hear the really loud ones). The folks on Park Lane were going mad last time there was concerts all summer.

The Royal Parks are a charity now actually

Gawd knows, I’m from oop North 😂

Was just musing.

I didn't think Buck palace or Hyde Park were within the city of London boundary?

I know-that's how bad it was .

for comparison the 2012 gig included

Robbie Williams
will.i.am and Jessie J
JLS
Gary Barlow and Cheryl
Cliff Richard
Alfie Boe
Jools Holland and Ruby Turner
Grace Jones
Ed Sheeran
Annie Lennox and Joanne Shaw Taylor
Rolf Harris (!!!)
Tom Jones
Shirley Bassey
Kylie Minogue
Elton John
Stevie Wonder
Madness
Paul McCartney

plus comedians Rob Brydon, Lee Mack, Miranda Hart and Jimmy Carr and various classical/choir stuff and speeches

Nope we’re in Westminster.

@AlecTrevelyan006 thats interesting. Although I loved tonight I think they could have had more and better British acts.

@TarpaulinEyes bylaws relating to the royal parks are still the responsibility of the SOS of culture media and sport. All signs relating to enforcement stuff in the parks tell you this "by order of the secretary of state"

Madness with 'It must be love' would have made a great finale.

Wondering what the message is supposed to be putting The Darkest Hour on afterwards

I didn't see all of it and may be being unfair, but I thought the line up was absolute crap. I almost (almost) think Macca doing Hey Jude would have been preferable.
