Send us your street party pictures (From Echo)

Tacky, jingoistic nonsense.

So is that a yes or a no ?

Personally, I'm not doing anything special but if people want to celebrate I hope they have a nice time.

Best wishes to Mrs Windsor-Mountbatten. Done a pretty good job so far, if I were you I'd award oneself an OBE for services to Tourism....

So no mention of those who are republicans?

Not sure if your joking but last year there was a national competition in schools for children to come up with a emblem which would feature on all things Jubilee....a 10year old girl from Chester drew this picture (apologies if you are joking)

You want pictures of rain ?

Not trying to be funny, just disgusted at the childish, sloppy logo.

We had a street party, yes it poured with rain, everyone huddled together under gazebo's, but by the late evening we had met, and made friends with, neighbours we had never had the chance to talk to. That's what this Jubilee was about, bringing people together in times of austerity.

waste of money as per -usual, if the royal family lived on a council estate they would be known as a problem family with a social worker. They take money from the Country (illegally) abuse their spouses, leave their kids for weeks, adultry, drunkens, druggies, sell their stories to the media. Fiddle their banks. Run away from the military forces. Refuse to go into battle. I could go on but I geuss you realise I'm stating they are no better than the parsites we see on the likes of trash tv.

So, just to sum that up you are not very keen on them, yes?

hahah
someones bitter......

someones bitter

yes please, mine's a pint...

I'm by no means bitter, this four days must of cost the country millions, yet the NHS, Local Services, Pensions, Education to name a few are constantly being cut. Mass unemployment. Have a Royal Family but stop the Privy Purse. Let them support themselves.

Carol, where abouts was this street party?

I'd love to upload some photos of our street party which I took with a reasonable camera, but a single picture apparently exceeds your email account!

There's nothing more British than behaving like North Koreans.

Oh I,m with you my friend. I never had a view on the royal family until this weekend but I am fed up with endless celebrations and fanfares. Andrew Marr said that the Queen works really hard. Yeah, they fly her somewhere and she waves at people! My neighbours had a street party. How I laughed when it rained Queen reigns, God rains!

the queen signs every law past in parliament and she has the job of opening and closing parliament for recess. she is an excellent ambassador for our country she is the head of the church of England and several scum bag prime ministers have had to kneel before her and she p1ssed of Margaret thatcher on more then one occasion.

she is worth her weight in gold and i am pleased we are not some corrupt, tinpot republic.

she works harder the most of our politicians put together. I would trust the royal family over a Tory any day..

Yeah but anyone could do that! And she costs her weight in gold.Laws would still be passed without the monarchy else how would America manage? The only thing I can say in her favour is that she is a **** site better than Charles

the really sad element of our constitution is the fact that ex sleazy politicians and mates of the party in power get a 'job for life' in the house of lords. we need an elected second chamber.

im happy for the royal family to remain ambassadorial figure heads of our nation. who wants David Cameron's mug on a pound coin?

We should have Oliver Cromwell's head on all our currency. He had the right idea.

lefty, if the echo had a like button for comments i would have clicked it several times.

Sadly, I think, Her Majesty is being reduced to a cost factor and allthough it is difficult to substantiate the income in tourism she generates in pounds and pence, let's face it, Buckingham Palace or any other Royal Palace for that matter would amount to little more then just another museum to visiting tourist, were it not for the miniscule chance of catching a glimpse of a member of the Royal Family.

Why else would tourists line up outside her palaces if not for that reason.

Also, she is the finest ambassador for the realm, promoting understanding and togetherness, rather then hatred and self centeredness, as is done here all too often.

And that is a naturalized Brit saying that.

God Save the Queen and may her reign last for years to come yet.

She's the biggest benefits scrounger in the UK. Lives a life of unparalleled luxury financed entirely by the taxpayer. She even had the cheek to apply for poverty payments to help heat her palace:

So don't give me any cr@p about the queen promoting 'togetherness', Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg Gotha doesn't give a d@mn about the ordinary people of Britain.

What has she achieved? Living to 85 in luxury in a job she got through nothing more than accident of birth. Anyone could do that.

We would still get the tourism trade without the 'royals'. People still visit Hampton Court Palace even though Henry VIII has been dead for 465 years. France has a thriving tourist trade with no royals at all.

Bring on Madame la Guillotine.
