Faking labour isn't really an option for Her Maj. She did look bored whenever the camera caught her, poor old soul, she should be in bed with a cup of cocoa.
Poor lady having to sit through that on her birthday! You'd think that somebody might have gone to the trouble to find out what she really would like to be entertained by and acted accordingly! 92 and that's all that was on offer!!
It was truly awful wasn't it and the whole Royal Box looked bored. Lowest spot for me Frank Skinner and his ukulele/bango crowd. The George Formby thing is big here with a whole Ukulele Orchestra that is wheeled out for every event and believe it or not a queue of people waiting to join. For me GF couldn't sing, told unfunny jokes and looked odd. I know the times were different but what's the attraction now?
Only saw the last bit of this - what I saw was awful. My bet is the Queen was wishing she was home watching re-runs of Death in Paradise with a nice G&T.
It's just me then. I rather enjoyed some of this, although I agree that a lots of the acts were totally unsuitable for the Queen. Sting and Shaggy? Why? We recorded it and fast forwarded the bits we didn't like but we enjoyed Tom Jones and the drummers, Alfie Boe and the chap singing Oh What a Beautiful Morning. I do agree that the royals looked bored.
now*KatyK * dont stereotype queenie ,just because she's old doesn't mean she only likes ancient music acts.I know loads of older folk who love new music..it is allowed you know .She might well listen to Sting and Shaggy while she's opening her mail....lol
