Yesterday

The weather forecast for yesterday was dry all day, ...
 ... but looking at the dark clouds at 10am I'm not so sure!
 Forever hungry chicks outside the hatch!
 Surprise, surprise - it did stay dry and sunny all day albeit with a chilly wind ...
 ... and a stunning sunset just after 9pm.
We're watching the Diamond Jubilee Concert on BBC and have pinched these pictures ...
 Gary Barlow's new single 'Sing' sung by singers from all over the Commonwealth - fantastic -over 200 people on the stage here...
... and apparently about 20,000 in the audience - this is Sir Paul McCartney finishing the concert.  You should also be able to see the backs of Sir Cliff, Robbie Williams, Shirley Bassey, Annie Lennox, Tom Jones, Sir Elton, etc
 Gary Barlow escorts the Queen and the Duchess of Cornwall ...
... to the stage ...
 ... where Prince Charles gives rather a witty commemoration to his mum ...
 ... who is trying very hard not to lol (laugh out load)!
Paul will be 70 this month! Unbelievable!
 The Queen lights the first Jubilee Beacon ...
... so I take a look out of the window but can only see the moon rising - lovely sight at 22:45!
 And then the pyrotechnics start ...
 ... and the VIP’s are impressed ...
 ... coooo ...
 ... stunning!
What a fabulous concert, absolutely superb!
The Jubilee Beacon at Largs, North Ayrshire sent by my daughter Sharon at 22:15 last night - she also reported that she could see the beacon on Arran too - marvellous!
Says I - God Bless the Queen and long may she reign.
