I will never forget yesterday
celebrating the Queen's 60 year reign
with one million spectators in London
observing the grand 1000 boat flotilla
It was a chilly rainy day
as it had been on Queen Elizabeth's Coronation Day in 1953
I loved seeing the colorful flags of the 54 Commonwealth nations
There had not been this number of boats on the River Thames in hundreds of years
It was quite a sight
During the event, the downstream Thames Barrier maintained the water level due to tides
(the world's second largest movable flood barrier)
The Queen wore white and stood during the entire pageant
Prince Phillip, Prince Charles and Camilla,
Prince William and Kate were also aboard
The Spirit Of Chartwell with the Queen
The event finished with fireworks at Tower Bridge
Although the military flyover was cancelled due to weather,
I think everyone felt it was an unforgettable, historic event
within the 4-day Jubilee celebration
Memory-making continues with the lighting of the beacons worldwide tonight
May your inner-beacon be shiny & bright today :)
