    Just gotten home. Parade was brilliant, the lads n lasses looked good. Brilliant turnout and the crowd cheered non stop from start to finish. The ceremony in the cathedral was moving also. Many stood outside on cathedral green to watch it on the Big Screens. Alas Prince 'PC' Phillip didnt provide any comments to giggle about but was a brilliant few hours.

    Sorry to have missed it, I would have liked to have been there to cheer. Guess I'll have to watch it on the news tonight
    I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to someone who rises and sleeps under the very blanket of freedom of which I provide and then questions me in the manner in which I provide it - I would rather they said thank you and went on their way

    Sky News showed almost all the service, it was very good. But why did the BBC only show 2minites
    And to think, I had no Idea I could bring so much fun and frivolity to others

    There are two types of people that dislike me,
    the envious and the stupid

    HAPPY NOW
