Children's Day June 1

(1/3) > >>

shaun:
I understand that Children's Day was Friday June 1st.  I'm wondering, would they celebrate it all weekend long?

Willy The Londoner:
In The UK the Celebrations started for the Queens Jubilee on Saturday and will go through to Tuesday night.  60 years Queen and yesterday more than a million people lined the River Thames celebrating a pageant that involved more than 1000 boats.  Of course there were republicans demonstrating against the Monarchy (all 100 of them).  For those who could not get to London there were thousands of street parties throughout the country.  Tonight there is a massive concert outside Buckingham Palace with Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Kylie Minogue, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones and Elton John.

One thing that the UK has and that is consistency.  This weekend is one I miss being in London For. At least the TV has had so much coverage that I can seen it all here.  They estimate more than 1 billion people around the world will take part in the Celebrations.

I have no idea where he lives.  Thankfully he has never invited me to his house.  Just as well as I could not spend all day with my back to the wall.  ::)
But then again I can think of no one of importance to be living in Atlanta - even Georgia as a whole.  Except a forum members named!!! What the heck is he called??
