Now I think on this day I have discovered that I will never be first in the queue for the Harrod's sale, nor will I camp out for tickets to Wimbledon or be at the front on the streets for the next Royal Wedding. The fireworks were amazing .... whether or not they were worth the 7 and a 1/2 to 8 hours we spent clinging to a hillside, the jury is still out!. It was all quite jolly to begin with and we sat on what at 2 pm was a gentle slope, we had plenty of room around us and a good view of the castle. By the time the fireworks started at just gone 10 pm the gentle slope had turned into an alpine mountain side and there was barely room to move.
The view from our hillside
Early days - all quite jolly!
Andrew very nearly finished this book by the time the evening was over!
The crowds building up
At last a plane appeared and five parachutes fell towards the Castle
