Prince Charles pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at last Night’s Diamond Jubilee Concert outside Buckingham Palace.
Meanwhile, our highlight, Grace Jones sings while hoola hoopling and then wishes Her Maj a “happy birthday”.

‘Sing’
‘Throne’ down by Gary Barlow, Princes Charles and Harry, Lloyd Webber, bagpipe players and African kids.
Awful.
It’s going to be massive.
Thanks Jack Jones
Campaigners from the Jubilee Debt Campaign get their zombie on in support for Irish network Debt Justice Action outside the Irish Embassy in Grosvenor Place this morning – ahead of tomorrow’s €1.25 billion payment to unsecured Anglo bondholders.
Jubilee Debt Campaign is arguing for a ‘jubilee-style’ debt cancellation for Europe. Jubilee’s Nick Dearden sez:
“It is totally unjust to make Ireland’s people – especially the
poorest in that country – pay for the crimes of speculators and the banking elite.
A year ago George Osborne called Ireland a ‘friend in need’. We call on the British government to assure Ireland that they would not take punitive measures if the government halted payment on these unjust debts, and that the UK would assist in a fair write-down of
Ireland’s debt.”
