DIAMOND JUBILEE

Million of English have celebrated today the Diamond Jubilee of QueenElisabeth II. It is a multinational celebration marking the 60^th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elisabeth II of the United Kingdom to the thrones of seven countries, upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952.

English people celebrated today the Jubilee on the Thames in London. The river spectacle, officially started with the ringing of Jubilee at 14:40 hours and will end at about 17:30 hours.

The queen dressed in a white hat and a silver and white coat. She is accompanied by senior royals, including the Duke of Edinburgh and Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on the boat, which has been decorated with 10.000 flowers from the royal state.

Prime Minister, David Cameron, paid tribute to the 86-year-olr Queen too. All the Londoners and English in general has gone outside full of English flags to celebrate with their Queen this special day.

The act will end on the Tower Bridge (that it has been decorated with coloured lights for this special occasion).

Queen Elisabeth II is today queen regnant of 16 states and this is not the normal case. Monarchies has been losing credibility in these last years, especially in Spain with the King Juan Carlos I hunting elephants in Botswana. In my opinion, monarchies are part of our recent history but we have to improve and to became a democratic and parliamentary countries if we want for example leave the crisis. Monarchies spent lots of money in journeys, meals, security, buildings, etc...

In the other hand it is amazing that a woman could be 60 years in the power. And I’m in favour of women in the power because by bad luck men still govern the history.
