Fantastic and also enjoyed 'All the Queen's Horses' on ITV.

Me too, Chris, I recorded both progs so o.h. will put them on disc, then I can watch them again if I get sentimental.

I wondered how poor Kate kept warm, the men were all in suits and uniforms so warm trousers, the women all wore tights and shoes, and must have been perished with cold.

An historic sight to see, all those boats and the crowds not being deterred by the awful weather, such a shame it wasn't like the previous weekend and bright and warm.

Heard on the news that some people suffered hypothermia, hope the Royals are ok not good for the Duke of Edinburgh to be cold and wet after his health scare at Christmas.

I was most impressed by the extensive knowledge of the woman in the studio interview who said that the company of milliners who made some of the hats had been resposible for making the hats for Nelson´s crew at Waterloo!!!!
I thought he fought at Trafalgar.
:-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

I agree Kay and I just watched the high lights :-(

I watched both programmes and definitely preferred All the Queen's Horses. I think the weather definitely spoiled the River Pageant, and they did say that some elements of it had to be cancelled.

Although I have to say, the sight of the London Philharmonic Orchestra choir defiantly belting out Rule Britannia in the torrential rain was one of the most brilliantly eccentric and "British" things I've ever seen LOL! :-D :-D :-D

I think the commentary etc could have been much better, and we could have had a look at some of the static sailing ships, plus more about the Dunkirk little ships and the working boats. I love boats, so did enjoy watching - it was colourful, happy, well organised, slightly quirky and a bit mad, i.e. very British :-D

I enjoyed watching it, but I thought there was too much studio talk and him that does the one show is o.k for half and hour but rubbish for a lengthy time, he didnt know what to say half the time.

I thought it was funny at one point, it looked like william and harry were trying to stand in front of her maj to shield her from the wind.

I thought the River Pageant was wonderful, full marks to the Queen and Prince Philip for stamina. Though I thought Kate looked stunning in her red outfit, felt it too bold compared to HM and Camilla's outfits. Agree about the "dressing gown" effect, was disappointed that the Queen's outfit was not a stronger colour, perhaps it was reminiscent of her Coronation gown? Agree about the chap off the One Show, he bores me to tears, and seems to be on so many programmes at present..
