Diamond Jubilee Pageant on The Thames, London

Wow what a day, today we travelled up to London with Jo and Murphy and waited for 6 hours by the River Thames waiting for the Queen in her Jubilee pageant and it was well worth the wait.

The little people were amazing waiting in one spot for six hours in the rain with nothing to do just the excitement of the pageant coming our way and maybe seeing the Queen.

Well, we saw the pageant, we saw the queen and other members of the royal family, lots of boats and in true British style all whilst getting soaking wet by the rain. I had to pull Samuel away from the railing to leave as the rain ran off our faces with him saying 'one last boat mum'. It was then a scramble back to London Bridge to catch a very crowded train home where we finished off our picnic and sat in damp clothes.

Today we created a a great memory that will last a lifetime...
