Jubilee Day here in the UK when the nation celebrates the seventy years of Elizabeth II's reign. The celebrations will last four days. Today I watched Trooping the Colour for the Queen's (Official) Birthday. She's had one hundred and sixty six birthdays!!
We went outside for our weekly neighbourhood nattering and sorted the details for a small street party on Sunday after Caistor's Picnic in the Park, part of The Big Jubilee Lunch.

This afternoon I went to our Market Square to hear The Jubilee Proclamation read by our Town Crier and his assistant. He stood next to the pump installed in honour Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. (Victoria reigned only sixty three years.) The Proclamation was met with a shout of "God Save The Queen" from the crowd.
Tonight beacons will be lit all across the country. I'm not sure I can make it to Caistor's beacon but I have hung my own tribute on the garden fence.
Thank you for all you have done for us, Ma'am
