Queens (…VERY GAY) pageant 🌈
June 5, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
I could’ve sworn, if no one had told me otherwise, that I was at the gay Mardi Gras! I have never seen so many sparkle and glitter and sequins, feathers and baubles! 🌈🌈🌈 Even an ABBA float blasting out “Dancing Queen”!

The atmosphere around Trafalgar Square, where I finally found somewhere to stand with a decent view was absolutely electric ⚡️ The crowd went wild for each of the buses which represented a decade in our Queens fantastical reign! Yes, I would have seen more on TV but to be part of the crowd waving my union Jack 🇬🇧 was like something you would only dream about!

It is hard to describe how it feels to be in London and attend every single event and be part of the crowd worshipping our Queen 👑It was magical and I will never forget it for the rest of my life! There are no words, sometimes, for experiences…

I am so thankful that I didn’t have any phone to distract me when I was out amongst the crowd either… It made it even more special to actually live right there, in that moment! I swore that I would get here for this if I could and I can’t believe that I made it happen! It is more than I can ever really imagine! I am going to re-live every moment on the telecasts when I get back home and will pinch myself remembering that I was actually there!

One funny moment today… There were obviously a lot of short people in the crowd who couldn’t see anything so they held their phone up high above their head… One husband said to his wife, what the fuck! You’re gonna look back at that in 70 years time and say why did I take that picture? You just took a picture of the street sweeper sweeping up horse 🐎 shit! Fuck I laughed! Later, she got me to check what she was taking a picture of! I told her, it’s okay this time it was one of the buses! Ha ha 😜😜😜

Something else to note… Every single minority, race, colour, and socio-economic group have nothing but praise, honour, care, excitement and true love, honest reflection and pride in Queen Elizabeth… I cannot even think of anyone who commands such respect from every single group…

Every single television station, every single newspaper, every radio station and every pub, shop, window and balcony had messages of goodwill for the platinum jubilee. It is hard to explain and I can truly say you had to be here… And I was ❤️❤️❤️
If Ed Sheeran tribute doesn’t bring a tear to your eye then you probably should check if you’re human! LOL 🇬🇧❤️👑🥰😘

And then! To top it all off! The Queen made a triumphant appearance on the balcony to the absolute and undisputed love of every single person there for her! ❤️❤️❤️ Truly a historic moment ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Simply:
A dream 💭 come true!Read more

You will never, ever forget this trip and it’s been a pleasure following it. How do you come back home and try to explain how magnificent it was ( especially to people who don’t love the monarchy). ? [Jules]

Traveler I know! I don’t need to explain. It’s all inside my heart and soul. Don’t give a flying fuck if anyone doesn’t get it. There are more that do! Like 100s of thousands! We are Not alone!!!!

Traveler I can’t describe the pride I feel. And I know that so many others are just in awe! Nobody works 70 years! And, with such full commitment and honour. If all BBC she can do Fromm now on, is wave and smile from balcony then that’s fine with me! She has earned it! This will NEVER happen EVER! X

February 2 in England ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Second day in London did start with me doing my assignment which we didn't capture in photos (is on a tiktok later), but luckily I finished and we got to walk around. We went to St Dunstan in the East Church Garden which was a cool decrepit church. Next we went to a random church we found that had a cafe and a dog inside who is our new best friend. We visited St Paul's but we were too late for the tours. We went to Postman Park just for the Pat joke and some really sad plaques of heros. And finished with a Harry Potter store which Emily spend too much money in!Read more

Day 9
London, England
June 25, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
We arrived in London early in the AM and wern't sure we liked the "hotel" (London 29) as it had dirty sofas in the lobby. We stayed anyway since the location was good and the rooms were just okay. While waiting for our rooms we had breakfast and Jenn and Dana had hysterics that we’re contagious. Buckingham Palace was right across from our hotel.
The Starks went to Windsor Castle to say hi to the Queen...more on that later. Stone Henge was seen and so was the Tower Bridge.
The Bridge,, built between 1886 and 1894, It crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London. The bridge was constructed to give better access to the East End of London.
Leeds Castle was filled with history of Lady Baillie's life as well as history. Canterbury Cathedral is from 597AD and oldest still in use Cathedral. Thomas Becket was murdered in 1710. The Cantebury Tales written by Chaucer takes place in Cantebury.
We found a cute tea shop in Chilham with scones and beer for Lincoln and Michael, our tour guide.Read more
