When I first heard they’ll be lighting beacons around the world for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, please tell me I’m not the only one who thought of a particular sequence in LOTR: Return of the King. Will it be as epic? Probably not…but who knows? Maybe someone in the BBC News editing department will be able to splice together something half decent.
Woman of Fashion - James Jacques Tissot (1885)..
Young Lady in a Boat by James Jacques Tissot, 1870

This will be my one and only post to commemorate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Not that I hate the Queen, never met her I’m sure she’s pretty nice but I’m not about to spam everyone’s dashboards over the course of the weekend. I shall celebrate this in my own way all the way from here in Hong Kong by watching it unfold on tv with various amounts of alcohol and my feet up.
So, Enjoy your Diamond Jubilee weekend Ma’am. I know I’ll enjoy mine.
