We enjoyed every minute of the Water Pageant,  tonight the Concert.  No one does it like the British.  Wish I was there.

I loved the wateer pageant too, it was truly amazing. I can't wait to see the concert tonight. I saw some excerpts on Sunrise too and WOW. (I only watch sunrise on holidays so that was great)
No TV for DH tonight, I will be choosing the programme.

Here is my Victoria Sponge - was too nervous after the mixed reviews to use the thermomix for the sponge -

no cream - what is that sparkly icing called?

It's a good excuse to celebrate and be out amongst the excitement.

The cream - I know! I realised when I was putting it all together that I had run out of cream. It was too manic by then to go out and get some - so we had 'war-time ration ' Victoria sponge. Last night when we finished it off - 'lashings' of cream! Agree about the concert 🎇 brilliant. So happy for them that the sun shone. Everyone hoping the Duke will be fine. Thought poor old Ralph Harris did well before they cut him off!

Just waiting for second visitors of the day to arrive.

Decided all cold food cos of timings.
Sponge with cream and strawbs in fridge.
Made 2 salads in  , and 2 pull apart In  followed folding method on you tube, thanks for that. This forum is amazing.
Used Isi s Portuguese roll recipe.
Achookwoman's choc pots a delight at lunch... How does one unconvert a recipe as was asked for it!
I guessed food processor choc, warm in pan with milk till mixed add gelatine stir well.

Still no tv, still gutted at missing bits, I player the next day not the same.

I watched the concert last night and loved it. The projections onto the palace were so amazing, especially the waterfall when the band on the roof played. They were great. Excuse my ignorance but who were they? DD is too far away to ask.
Watching the concert I even felt patriotically British and my heritage is mainly Irish.

You don't, you just give them the TM one and they can work it out

I enjoyed it too Cookie, well mostly - some of it wasn't my type of music.  Everyone was having a ball though and the younger Royals were really getting into the swing of it.

[mcmich]

I didn't get to watch it. The Rugby was on and Scotland was playing, in Newcastle too.
On the bright side there was a very handsome streaker - Certainly a lot going on under that kilt. 

[Halex]

Cookie, a great British band,  Madness.

We didnt watch it all, but its taped.
