Twitter users have fun with Diamond #Jubilee
Queen Elizabeth II
Thousands of people may have gathered along the River Thames in London yesterday to watch Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee River Pageant and a healthy number took to Twitter, as well, to have some fun tweeting about celebrations marking the Queen's 60 years as monarch, causing #Jubilee to become a trending topic on the microblogging site.
While many tweets reflected on the rainy weather in London yesterday and the festive air surrounding the pageant, here are a few of the chuckle-inducing tweets that poured into the #Jubilee stream:
"Dear London, I have just travelled from the South Bank to Camden and can safely say, you are drunk."

"I'd pay £10,000 to see Philip and Her Majesty do the Jack and Rose Titanic bow scene at the front of their barge."
- @JRhodesPianist
"Looks like the royal barge would serve great Thai food."
- @OfficialBanker
"'We're British! The rain didn't dampen our spirits!' Maybe not, but the bloody pneumonia will."
