The Queen's Diamond Jubilee has been a yearlong celebration, but the real festivities begin this weekend. A flotilla of over one thousand boats will float down the river Thames on Sunday and parties and celebrations are planned all throughout the Commonwealth. I am a little sad that I cannot be there to partake in the fun in person, so I thought I would bring the fun here! It's the Queen's Jubilee Celebration here on BirdiePearl!
