    Use the upload a file option in the reply box. You might need to screenshot them though as there is a 2mb limit on the filesize.

    Excellent, thank you for those.

    I saw on the news that they are planning on gathering the flowers in and then composting them and using the compost to plant a tree in the Queen's memory. A great idea imo.

    Definitely. A really nice idea. Something was said about all of the notes and cards being kept too.
    Bit of a faff uploading photos to this site, isn't it? I'll try and stick some more on later.

    Yeah, 2mb is nowt these days tbh but I suppose there will be some techy reason about server limits and whatnot.

    Yeah, we timed it just right! I'm not sure about the sunflowers but there was a lot of them.

    Just watched the Queens arrival in Edinburgh and as a long time retired police officer I am ashamed to see police officers lining the route wearing their dayglow jackets instead of their smart uniforms and white gloves as we had to wear in my day at official occasions like this.
    They were stood around looking like council bin men, standards have dropped dramatically.
    Next to the smartly turned out servicemen they were a real embarrassment to me.

    What a marvelous post, it really gladden my heart
    I’m in Greece at the moment and had a couple of beers with an Ausie couple this afternoon, the first thing they said when they realised I was a Brit was how sorry they were and then waxed lyrical about her. I have to admit that surprised me.

    Excellent photos - I was in London last week as well and wish in a way it had been this week as I would have certainly gone to the Palace

    It was a really great atmosphere.
    Hope you're having a great time in Greece.

    Over the past few days I've been watching the likes of Brassic, Topgear and a few other shows, and it's amazing how often the Queen is mentioned. Never noticed before.

    Top Gear, classic cop show cars. Ford Capri form the professionals,

    Freddie - I've never watched it

    Paddy- You call yourself British?

    Harris - Are you aware of the fact that we have a Queen in this Country

    Freddie- Well yeah, she give me the MBE.
