I’m sure even the most loyal to the royals out there will have had enough after a weekend of flag waving so I’ll get this over with quick.  Personally I avoided just about all of the Jubilee events but there’s not much you can do when the neighbours have organised a party outside your house and on Sunday morning I was putting up party tents and gazebos and I had the most fun I’ve had in the rain since I saw The Who at the Knowsley Hall Music Festival a few years ago.  It was Julie from the avenue who set the ball rolling on our event and it was a fantastic proper street party with loads of party games, a dj, karaoke and a midnight finish!  Aside from that, I then worked on the Monday night photographing 8 of the 4,000 plus torches that were lit around the country at 10.15pm which was a peaceful affair down at The Pier Head with a few people watching whilst the rest of the country argued over who was best/worst at the Jubilee Concert.  Right then, back to normal and today I’m off to shoot portraits at the Cruise Liner Terminal!
