Not just commentators. IIRC Prince William managed to make the same mistake.

Ah, but perhaps Roger is old enough to remeber HM when she was HRH :)

Then there were the protocols. Royal. Unbelievable security levels.
Health and Safety etc. Dictats from the Port of London Authority. They
even dictated that the Queen and the Duke had to wear life jackets

them in no uncertain terms to eff off! That is fact! *Did you notice
everyone else on that craft, even the two Royal funkiest in red, were
all wearing life jackets! All exept HRH and the Duke!

Ahem.

Ahem. Think you are somewhat misinformed. Depends on who is making the
statement!

or having to watch Sandy Tosdig talking drifflel. Think it portrayed a
certain very attractive British eccentricity in typical British
weather.

She's Danish. (As I'm sure I heard her say on the day - something to do
with longboats up the Thames).

Bad weather was clearly forecast - the choir should have been provided with
cover of some sort.
I felt really sorry for them.

They had cover (umbrellas) earlier on when they went past us before
Lambeth Bridge - evidently they decided to go all out for the grand
finale and let the weather go hang :-) I noticed that the one with
glasses was the only one to have her hood up, presumably because she
would have been absolutely blind otherwise!


I suspect the image of the soaking choir singing their hearts out will
be the abiding memory of the Jubilee procession, a la Dunkirk spirit....
