As jubilee mania sweeps the nation, the red carpets were well and truly rolled out including the Salvation Army band keeping spirits up among the crowds.  Union Jack flags were handed out to all the visitors on a 20 metre wide artwork of the queen to celebrate her diamond jubilee.

Passengers at London's Heathrow airport turned out in their 1000s to celebrate the 60 years of the queen's reign. Not sure that the red carpets will be as cheap as we supply, but none the less it certainly looked the part.
