Where were you for HM's earlier Jubilees? I'll start:
In 1977 I was 17, in 6th form and living at home in Guiseley near Leeds. Pretty stressed with Maths and History O level retakes and sickening for some digestive wotsit. Watched on TV the jubilee beacon being lit by HM in SE England and noted that there was no way beacon on Otley Chevin had waited to see the next one to south strike up!! Weather IIRC was as bad or worse than today.
In 2002 I was three months into same job I'm doing today. Holidaying on the Isle of Harris staying in bunkhouses. Cold and wet until Monday when sun got out and stayed that way except for very short nights until we left on Saturday. No opportunity to see stuff on TV but caught climax of England v Argentina World Cup match on car radio between Losgantir and Tarbert.
