Quiffs, tea cups and bunting - The Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Way back in June, we celebrated the Queen's Diamond jubilee,

with Elvis, in Rotherham!

Off to a vintage 50's style tea party in the old imperial market

We had our hair styled and quiffed in authentic 50's hair styles.

Curled...

back combed...

pinned...

and finished of with loads of hairspray!

Quiff-tastic!

Cup cakes and cups of tea, at almost 1950's prices.




Good old fashioned entertainment,

and a magic show

We enjoyed watching the celebrations on television.

We even managed to fit in some work!
The girls interviewed their Granny, back in the 50's she was at school in Africa, she went on a school visit to see the then Princess Elizabeth, this was to be the last sighting as a Princess, the very next day she was the Queen!


We wrote newspaper reports, one of the coronation and one of the jubilee celebrations.
We found out about the royal family and took a virtual tour of Buckingham Palace.


For three days, Britain forgot about recession, house prices, un-employment and even the bad weather and came together to celebrate Our Queen's diamond jubilee.

I hope our Queen enjoyed it too!
