Jubilation!
Hers is the face that has launched 21 ships, hers the hands that have given out 90,000 Christmas puddings and cared for more than 30 dogs (corgis and dorgis!) and 30 godchildren. Her wedding dress was woven by Chinese silkworms. She has brought up four of her own children, (with admittedly a little help). She is our Queen, who was aged 85 on Accession Day in 2012 and is the oldest monarch to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee. Enjoy royal visits, new royal boroughs, big lunches, Thames pageants, fiery beacons, golden carriages and RAF flypasts and best of all, celebrate her reign with us as we perform some of the diamonds of British classical music also played at her coronation in 1952: the glorious musical representations of the English countryside – Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending (not to be confused with the famous occasion when my best friend's shoulder straps completely slipped in performance, ever after known as “The Lark descending”), Elgar's magnificent Nimrod, the delightful Greensleevesand more favourites.
Bring a friend, bring a flag, bring your voice and let's raise the roof to Queen Elizabeth II and all the people that make Britain Great!

"Eat Cake and Mingle" We have teamed up with our favourite local bookshop/Cafe/Gallery Woolfson and Tay, to provide coffee, tea, muffins, and other yummies for our audience. Come early at 10am, mingle, and get settled in for a great morning.
