Jubilee!

Was it my imagination , or was Diana airbrushed out of that large black and white photo of of the silver jubilee?

That's Photo-shop for you!

Surely not? If that's true, it will cause a great hue and cry in the tabloids!

I couldn't see her. But it was only on for a very short time?

I thought the commentating on the river pageant was very poor - there wasn't much detail on what certain boats were and who were in them!? I can't believe that I would beable to stand for 3 hours, as the Queen did, when I reach her age. She has served this country exceedingly well and deserves all the praise we are able to give.

I watched the sky version as I was not impressed the bbc. That is unusual!

We didn't actually see the 'arms' (can't remember the proper word) of the bridge go right up for the Queen's boat because they were off talking to somebody.

I think the BBC coverage left a bit to be desired.

Yes I agree ...I thought the BBC coverage was not up to their usual standard.

I,too, wondered about that huge picture from the Queen's earlier Jubilee ...I looked for and didn't see Diana either.

I saw it on sky! It's something like bascules according to google!

jacey so it's not just me!

It was pouring with rain, the Queen was sailing up the Thames in a huge gilded barge while tens of thousands of dripping wet people waved Union Jacks and cheered their heads off. Only in Britain......Eat your heart out, rest of the World.

Ok jeni ...have found the image ...think it was from Queen's silver jubilee
... pre Diana??

You'll have to scroll through several images until you find it

Definitely pre Diana. Lord Mountbatten is on it.

I did wonder how Anne felt about the chosen image? ( her ex being there!)

HMQ looked decidedly peeved when she saw it. It was on the side of Sea Container House. Perhaps because it had Mark Phillips on it??? would have been better to have had a coronation pic up!

I thought that too, Jacey Pity they couldn't have found one which included the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.

Looking at the pictures of the stamp collection on jacey's link makes me think how much the queen has improved over the years! She seems much more stylish now. And more relaxed.

I was quite struck by how the Queen is beginning to resemble her mother. I agree that it was sad they didn't show a photo including her.

I don't think she would have minded that picture. It's got her beloved uncle on it. She wouldn't worry about Foggy Phillips.

Did you see that lego picture from Hamleys window! (further down) Really good.

Thanks for the link jacey.

Yes! I thought she is starting to look like the Queen Mum.

No! Wills is on it!
I'm not sorry as I didn't like her! (sorry)
But m surprised she was brushed out!
I think on the original, she was standing behind Wills!

No Jeni Wils isn't on it ...on the left are the Queen's three sons ... Charles (in uniform) Edward and then Andrew

is it Wills or Peter Phillips??
