Unlike the Royal Wedding just a year ago,
this event feels more intimate
The English seem to deeply appreciate her loyalty and dedication to her position
Quite a few remember her coronation in 1953
when she was just 27 years old
She has been Queen during the lifetime of most Britons
and has provided stability and continuity to this country
Because the only other Diamond Jubilee has been for Queen Victoria
and many Britons may not experience another Jubilee in their lifetime,
this event is a really big deal

This Jubilee reaches across ALL ages
and has brought out loyalty, pride, and even patriotism
in Britain
The curious thing about the British is they have allegiance to two flags
- the Union Jack and their constituent country
(England, Scotland, Wales, or N Ireland) -
which creates a multilayered identity at the heart of every Brit
with perhaps muddled patriotism
Ooh, it is going to be an exciting few days,
and I'm going to bring you along :)
