No, Eurovision was last weekend.
Unless you've been living in a cave or under a rock (or under a rock inside a cave) for the last few months, you've probably heard some mention of the Diamond Jubilee. This year marks the 60th year of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. Hers is only the second Diamond Jubilee in British history (Victoria was the only other monarch to reach this milestone - Elizabeth will need to continue reigning for about another 4 years to knock Victoria off the top spot).
All of this means that it's time for lots of bunting, a four day weekend and a MAHOOSIVE party!
It also means that it's time for Gary Barlow to write a song in honour of the occasion.
So good old Gary wrote his song and then went travelling round Commonwealth countries to find musicians to perform it. The result was this rather brilliant official Jubilee song.
That's a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing it--and for introducing me to the word "mahoosive." ;)
ReplyDelete:D No problem. Apparently I use it quite a lot! Glad you liked the song too.
DeleteI'm not sure you could have missed hearing about the Diamond Jubilee even if you have been living under a rock inside a cave. The ABC special last week was enough to make hubby and I get the TV working for the first time in the nearly five years we've been together. A presidential election wasn't enough, but that was. :-) That song is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it; it wasn't on the special.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good song, isn't it? I think I like it more each time I hear it. I'm sure Her Majesty would approve of you getting the TV ready for her Jubilee celebrations ;)
DeleteThe song is great.
ReplyDeleteI think it's top of the charts here at the moment. Maybe. I'm not very down with the kids these days.
