The head boat - the Bell Boat - is ringing, and all the bells have to ring in return.
Isn't it just lovely and so very exiting?!
Catharina said:I'm completely hooked on watching the entire thing, it looks fabulous! I've got a hideous cold but watching all the flags, vessels and bells & whistles makes me feel oh so much better. I simply love things like these. Congratulations Brits, you certainly know how to pull off these sorts of events! Her Majesty looks great, I only hope she would be smiling more.
Agree! Just stunning.That moment on the National Theatre was stunning! I have never seen anything like that before. The Queen looked like she loved it as well.
Obviously I'm watching the wrong live stream. I'm watching this from BBC's website and they seem to miss all of that. Now they're discussing how pleased HM has been at all, smiling and pointing at things. But I haven't seen it, they've probably been interviewing someone at the time not showing Her Majesty.Oh, believe me, she's been smiling lots. A few giggles as well!!
Can someone explain to me why the entire royal family isn't on the Royal Barge? It seems silly to me that they aren't all together, expecially considering the size of the boat.
I can't believe how well they have all done. My arms would have fallen off if I tried to do even a tenth of that.Props for the rowers at the manned boats for rowing 7 miles at 4,5 knots!
Which is the best answer to them!Sky TV reported that the protesting anti-monarchists were drowned out by crowds singing the National Anthem at them.

The Queen looks cold and miserable.
