A last bash for the Queen and the party Brits need
Celebrating “queen and country” is a way for buttoned-up Britons to celebrate themselves as they move past the pain of the pandemic and the endless bickering over Brexit.
London | She might not use this exact term, but the Queen is about to get a ginormous victory lap – a huzzah of applause, featuring a kilometres-long horse parade, 3200 bonfires and a serenade at Buckingham Palace by Sir Rod Stewart.
For her subjects, what’s not to like? Her Majesty is giving Britain a four-day weekend to celebrate her 70 years on the throne – her Platinum Jubilee.
