Kylie was looking just lovely - more than ever. I only started watching from then and it was excellent from then on (if it wasn't before). A good speech by Charles I thought as I know he has his knockers on here but I enjoyed that

If he was then none of the thousands of people seemed to mind and he does know how to do a finale

Yes sadly Sir Paul has got rather ropey in these recent years, old age kicking in and showing now more and more

Why didn't the queen at least say thank you? why let Charles do the speech?

And why did they end with the french flag projected onto the palace

I thought the Jubilee concert was brilliant. Projections on the castle were astounding! I loved Elton John's performance as much as Tom Jones's. Energetic Robbie has lost a bit of weight, and he has gone quite grey, I noticed. Cheryl and Kylie were two annoying people in the line-up. Kylie has had her botox-gone-wrong on her forehead fixed, I noticed. She didn't put on her sex-shop dress (she wears it on her new song) for the occasion or the Queen would have had to either shut her eyes or go like > :eek. The Queen herself looked good, shame about her husband taking ill. Hope he gets better soon. Congrats to the cute Queen- Yaaaaye!

Yeah, you're right. he now essentially has to wear the elasticated straps stuck to his pants so that they don't fall down. That is why losing weight doesn't always make people look young. Anyway, he and Sir Cliff (another ropey person) seem to be fit and healthy, so that's a good thing.

They were also good TBH. But not as good as Elton John and Tom Jones IMO.

Did anyone spot Camo, Nick or their political bumchums in the concert party? I am glad I didn't spot any of them or I would have turned my telly off.

Great concert, makes me feel proud to be British, there were a couple of ropey performances and I didn't think a lot of will.i.am (why was her there?) Grace Jones or Cheryl Cole and at one point I thought Cliffs teeth were gonna fall out.

Best performances were from Tom, Elton, the military wives and the whole gang who sang "sing" which was brilliant.

Well done Gary Barlow. Or will that be Sir Gary soon?

I reckon Cheryl put a good word in for him to Gary. Then Stevie Wonder got told that Will I Am (what a halfwit name) is also black, so if he could chip in. Not that Stevie cares a hoot. he can't even see whether someone is black, white, pink or brown. So, he must have said, "Whatever, dude." It was very 'whatever' appearance from Will I Am. He seemed a bit embarrassed himself for he could sense that people would think, " I Am, who do you think you are; bobbing up and down irrelevantly and singing a oneliner for two minutes, FFS!?!? Get off the stage, soonish!"

Best performances were from Tom, Elton, the military wives and the whole gang who sang "sing" which was brilliant.
Africal kids did have angelic voice. They looked beautiful when they cracked a coy smile. All of them can do toothpaste advert in the UK.

Well done Gary Barlow. Or will that be Sir Gary soon?
Its going that way for him, isn't it. If Robbie keeps his ADHD under control, he will be a new Elton John and the National treasure by the time he is 50. Gary is classed as one even now, and Royal family say that they are very priviledged to have a cup of tea with him. It wouldn't surprise me if he does become a Sir in near future. I'm pleased that he didn't chip in with the commentator's job there, or knowing him, 1 minutes script would have taken him 10 minutes to do. "N.....o......w, w.......eeee..........ha............ve............ El........ton...........Jo.........hn........in... .......pink..........j........a.........cke....... .....t..................to..........perform....... .f.............o.............r...........youuuuuuu uuuuuu." **** that.

One thing I'd like to add about Gary Barlow. He needs to stop doing that XFactor job. He doesn't need cheap popularity, nor is he desperate for money. Copying Simon Cowell doen't suit him, he is utter cr@p at it. Quitting that should do his reputation favours or the next Take That tour will be half-empty because of his obnoxious attitude on XFactor. I hope Simon doesn't recruit him again.

Yeah great show. Must be hard to try and please everyone from age say 5 to 90!!

Thought they might have painted those stage cranes red, white and blue

Didn't see it all but was Adele there or Leona??

Grace Jones - rubbish, always has been IMO.

And I did miss Freddie

Bit of a hit or miss concert imo.

Cheryl and Will.I.Am were shockingly bad.
Cliff and Paul M are struggling to hit the notes they once used to hit.

On the other hand, Madness, Tom Jones and Kylie performed really well.

All the comedians did a fair job too.

She looks well' ard, that woman. I think she did good job in keeping that hoop going whilst singing along with that. I was waiting for it to drop any moment, but she skillfully kept it circulating. Anyone saying, "WTF was she doing with that hula hoop ?", I'll ask them to hula hoop while singing a ballad with it themselves for 3-4 minutes, and then post their video of their act here for us to judge. Then we'll see if they can do better than her. She is a fine acrobat IMO. Very dangerous looking person indeed.

Depends if you get us the tickets again, though. Then yeah, I might consider.

She is a very knowledgeable person and you might even find she knows more than you do about the subject.

What was your basis for passing that remark anyway.

Grace Jones was nuts. Was it me or did she wish the Queen "Happy Birthday" at the end? Anyhow, I have to post a link to one of the best songs ever. And it's by Grace Jones. So she's alight in my book

Personally I thought it was a bit crap, too many acts that cannot sing, thank god for Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey and Elton John at least they stopped the whole thing from being a comedy routine. The military wives are working for a good casue but their singing ability is non existant and to be honest when combined with a bad song and terrible outfits it was cringeworthy. Also had that hula hoop bull**** followed by a song about crack ****** ? the concert made me cringe and I had to switch ot off long before Paul Mcartney showed up with his zimmer frame.
