What a great weekend to remember 
one that will go down in history 
The time the nations came together 
to celebrate the platinum jubilee 

Four days of festivities and events 
great spectacles for us all to see 
From the lighting of flaming beacons 
to the magnificent grand finale 

There was ceremonial processions 
with majestic pomp and pageantry  
A colourful carnival parade 
enjoyed by the royal family 

Buckingham palace was centre stage 
turned into a huge cinema screen
Laser beams and drones lit up the skies 
the most impressive that I have seen 

Communities held their street parties 
there was much singing and dancing too 
Every village, town and city
decorated in red white and blue 

What a great weekend to remember 
filled with much optimism and glee
I must confess my favourite part
was the Queen and Paddington taking tea
