The servgice is just ending. It's been interesting to see junior members of the Royal Family and to try to identify them! Wikipedia has been useful, even though it can't necessarily be relied upon. Don't discount anything to help you to find information though. It can still play its part. Sad to see the Queen processing in behind everyone, alone. It really emphasised the absence of the Duke of Edinburgh. I know the Prince of Wales will be accompanying her for the rest of the day, but couldn't Camilla have walked in with Harry so Charles could walk in with his mother? She's walking out on the own now, and this will overshadow everything in the press tomorrow, I reckon. Not the incrfedible turnout and showing of public affection, but the absence of her husband. I really think that could've been thought out better, as they did have some notice. We knew last night that the Duke would still be in hospital. She will now go to the Mansion House with the Lord Mayor for a short reception with members of the City of London Corporation, and then on to the Palace of Westminster with the Livery Companies, for lunch. She will then travel back to Buck House in a carriage procession, for the appearance on the balcony, and the flypast. I hope we get the flypast this time, as they had to cancel the one due on Sunday at the end of the regatta, due to the weather. Fingers crossed!
