I was listening to Simon Calder On the radio yesterday I think it was. He said in most cases if your flight hasn't been cancelled 3 weeks before departure unlikely to get cancelled.

We are sort of swaying towards not going at the moment, It's not just the crowds when you get there though it's the tube and the noise. Think it's one of those things where we like the idea but the reality won't be practical.

Exactly. It is also a celebration of the history and continuity which have kept this country stable while most of our neighbours fell to extreme ideologies and civil war. Over 300 years of continuous Parliamentary Democracy and Constitutional Monarchy.

"The Pole Fair celebrates the granting of the towns Royal Charter in 1585 by Queen Elizabeth I as well as celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. Pole Fair traditions, including dawn charter readings, floral arches, the stocks, stang, ox roast, greasy pole competition and this year, a new heritage trail too.

There will be a community breakfast, a picnic, music, dance, walkabout performers, a carnival parade, funfair."

It's a bit of a funny old local tradition held every 20 years here

A mixture of things over the days as mostly on my doorstep from the pomp & ceremony of the trooping of the colour on Thursday, mix that with a multicultural party in Newham full of food & music from the cultures of the borough; all things naval in Greenwich with sea shanties & food; then a mates house / garden party on Saturday.

I’m sure I’ll discover more, I’ll just let my feet & ears guide me. I’ll be soaking it all in as will be the last in my life time.
