One of the largest water pageants in centuries...
And connects to centuries of British history...
Pomp and pageantry on the Thames
I cannot put it any better than the hearts of thousands of British people. God save the Queen! Being a cultural historian specializing in 17th and 18th century British pageantry, I personally think this water pageant simply delightful. Also the Edwardian flare of Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory for the finale brought a sense of the height of the British Empire to the forefront of the ceremony. Rule Britannia.
