A general view during the Platinum Party At The Palace at Buckingham Palace
We met people from not only all over the country, but all around the world. From Canada to New Zealand, they had all come to celebrate the Jubilee. When a video of Queen sharing tea and marmalade sandwiches with Paddington Bear was shared on a screen at the Platinum Jubilee, the cheer that went up from the crowd was like something from a rock concert.
My late nan was also called Elizabeth, and always took great pride in the role the Queen played for her generation, not least in dark days like the war.
