A glimpse of what my eyes read & saw;
Something old
Prince Philip will turn 90 this Friday.
In the last few weeks, busy Prince Philip has attended his grandson's wedding Prince William to Kate Middleton, has accompanied the Queen on a trip to Ireland, which most are saying was a great success, and has been present during the state visit to Britain of US president Obama and his wife.
To wind down on his birthday, everything shall be as it normally is – a reception at Buckingham Palace for the centenary of the Royal National Institute for deaf people, and the annual colonels' conference and dinner.
The occasion shall be marked by a 41-gun salute in Green Park, and as tradition wants it, the Union Flag will fly on government buildings.
Something new
The duke and duchess of Cambridge aka Will & Kate joined the Queen for a Royal gathering on Derby day.
The newly weds went horse-racing to support the Queen on a day which was somewhat special for the Monarch. She has always been a fan of this sport, and was hoping that her horse Carlton House would win the Epsom Derby. She was in the company of many of the other Royals who all gathered to cheer the horse on.
The horse was a 5/2 favourite, and even though at one point it seemed that he might win the race, the three year old came in third.
Well, he is only three bless him.
