The Royal Family are never far from British culture and lifestyle, however in the last couple of years they seem to have grabbed more attention than normal. The highly anticipated wedding of our future king to a “commoner” and now the celebration of 60 years of our Queen’s reign.
The bunting is up, the events are planned and, in keeping with tradition, the weather is not looking promising. The Jubilee weekend is nearly here, an opportunity to celebrate our British heritage, traditions and our Queen. It appears we are playing ball, according to internet searches we are embracing the Jubilee.
My three favourite Jubilee-related campaigns:
- Heathrow create royal runway
- Union flag sausages
- The Royal Sims
If nothing else, the Jubilee has gifted us an extra long weekend, so pray for sun and enjoy everything British.
For Nottingham readers keen to meet our monarch, the Queen will be visiting our city on 13 June. Read about the Queen’s previous visits to the city here.
