Oh dear, Cliff should give it a rest now - I could have wept when he sang "The Young Ones" - let us live with our memories, Cliff!

I haven't seen the Queen yet! I wonder if Philip has died and they're keeping it quiet til after the service etc

I felt so sorry for Renee Fleming, a great soprano, she might as well have sang with a bucket on her head. I do hope the live sound quality is good.

jeni! shock

jeni Mon 04-Jun-12 20:59:34

She sounded marvellous to me!
Oh the Queen is just here!

pompa Mon 04-Jun-12 21:03:08

Perhaps it my sound system that is at fault then. OR am I just turning into a grumpy old man !. No - Alfie Bow on CD sounds great, it's definitely the BBC, I shall make complaints to my BBC contact (DIL)

jeni Mon 04-Jun-12 21:04:39

How to upset DIL in one easy lesson!grin

pompa Mon 04-Jun-12 21:10:08

LOL, it will take more than that to upset her. I'm sure she will be squirming if she is listening now, she is a control freak when it comes to broadcast quality. She may be at work atm, she is a news director and often covers the 10pm news.

I loved that comment, plan your retirement, get a pension or you will end up like the Queen, still working at 86.

Alfie Bow and Renee Fleming, wonderful, I shall enjoy this as i know what it should sound like.

jeni Mon 04-Jun-12 21:38:05

Was great! But what on earth is Elton wearing? Looks like something from a tats boudoir!

Interesting, type boudoir and iPad came up with boudicca confused

jeni Mon 04-Jun-12 21:38:57

And that should be tarts

pompa Mon 04-Jun-12 21:41:33

So, what's the question ??

jeni Mon 04-Jun-12 21:45:17

She is looking stressed and so is Charles!

pompa Mon 04-Jun-12 21:50:45

Yes, she is looking very down, I do hope her husband is Ok.

glammanana Mon 04-Jun-12 21:55:36

Alfie Bow is wonderful such a fabulous voice and Sir Tom can certainly hold the crowds,I think Elton John should hang up his piano and retire gracefully as he did not come across very well at all.I can't understand why Grace Jones was invited ? The song "Sing" was marvelous well done to all involved,such a pity The Duke has been taken into hospital lets hope he recovers quickly.

jeni Mon 04-Jun-12 21:56:50

Lenny Henry is being. Great as ever!

Anagram Mon 04-Jun-12 22:23:06

Oh dear...Macca should definitely retire - forever! sad

Jacey Mon 04-Jun-12 22:28:55

Yes ...several of these singers seem to be beyond their sell by date shock ...perhaps we're too used to hear enhance recordings?? hmm

Thinking that the Queen is going beyond the call of duty tonight crown ...she's got an early start tomorrow and no husband by her sideflag

hasn't she got to light a beacon yet?

gracesmum Mon 04-Jun-12 22:31:15

Loved the front of Buckingham Palace for "Our House" grin (One's House)

Anagram Mon 04-Jun-12 22:32:33

Yes! After hours of watching this lot she's got do light the beacon before she can even think of getting off to bed! Poor old lady...crown

Anagram Mon 04-Jun-12 22:33:19

Jacey Mon 04-Jun-12 22:36:25

Oh good ...they're all coming back on stage!

Anagram Mon 04-Jun-12 22:37:11

jeni Mon 04-Jun-12 22:39:33
