Union Jack flags, dresses, jackets and hats and thousands of royal face masks greeted you where ever you looked. Over a million lined the banks of the Thames for seven miles. Some camped over night in the heavy rain. Others arrived at dawn to try and get a perfect spot to view the Jubilee pageant. A flotilla of 1,000 boats on the Thames heading for Tower Bridge. The first time in over 300 years that a flotilla like this has been on the river.Despite the rain the crowds were enthusiastic and jubilant, with loads of cheering and fervent flag waving all day. The Queen looked magnificent dressed in white aboard a beautiful gilded barge covered in 10,000 flowers. She must have been so moved to see this public display of affection for her. More celebrations today and the Jubilee concert and lighting of the beacon tonight.
