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:
