“Special Opportunity”

Crowds gathered in the early hours of the morning in front of St. Paul. Guards in traditional uniforms lined the front and stairs, and bells rang constantly in traffic, following precise rules, roaring former prime ministers Tony Blair and David Cameron, and then incumbent Boris Johnson.

Ray Williams, 37, posted a picture of the Queen’s life-size cardboard ‘because she could not come by herself’. She says she attends all the events and loves Harry. “Meghan, I’m not sure, honestly,” she adds.

“It’s family, isn’t it?” Julie Blewitt, 56, of northern England, told AFP: “This is a unique opportunity that will never happen again.” “It would not be the same without the Queen.”

The festivities continue with a large evening concert in front of Buckingham Palace on Saturday, with thousands of diners on Sunday and a huge parade among the neighbors and a huge parade through the streets of London in the evening, with nearly 10,000 participants.
