Well what a start to the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in Windsor… a fly past by the Red Arrows just after 1pm 😉

These big events only go seamlessly well by having officers who know how to stage manage a Royal town. It helps if they have the full support of their families as the hours aren’t 9-5! BIG THANK YOU to all those involved across RBWM.

Very appropriate this #VounteersWeek that the Rotary Club of Windsor St George were on hand to sell tickets for the Ox Roast… sounds like they did very well in deed 😉 Rather fittingly, Her Majesty the Queen provided the OX with the money raised going to The Prince Philip Trust Fund.

There will be many people in hospitality working very hard over the next few days to make the Platinum Jubilee celebrations that extra bit special…

Some will be working harder than others 😉

I love watching the extra large Royal Standard flying high.

Bachelor’s Acre this afternoon at 4pm. The fun started at 12pm. I do hope this weather manages to hold for the weekend.

Town was buzzing today with a number of people securing their seats, pic 4:30pm, for the beacon lighting in the evening at 9:30pm.

One of my favourite pubs in Windsor, The Two Brewers, was doing a roaring trade at last!

I hope you enjoyed this small snap shot of today’s events… I would have liked to get more pics but phone ran out of juice! There’s always tomorrow 😉

Thank you.
