Agree. The joy when my lad demanded he sat in the front of the car and insisted we listened to his music. Fearing the worst I reluctantly agreed. The joy I felt when the opening cords to “shine on you crazy diamonds” eased out the speakers.

A bit behind but Duran Duran... Diana's fave band???

Just wait until you reach Elton John singing Goodbye English Rose.

FFS, I do love a bit of Elton John though 

He can certainly play that piano

Some good music there, it’ll be interesting to see how many of tomorrows teenagers are seeking out todays music in 20 years time. My eldest is 16 and listening to pink floyd, Rolling Stones, rainbow, dio, Bowie. He’s found these himself, not without my prompting, I had two boxes of my brothers old vinyl in my garage that I’ve gave him and bought him a record player. 
 

Love tea for the tillerman by the way. Great album.

I'm so glad I grew up with the music of the 60/70's......Free, Wishbone Ash, Cat Stevens, Genesis, Dire Straits, The Who...to name but a few.

Today's music is sooo crap!..

Jax Jones and Ed bloody Sheeran 😂😂!

You poor young bastards!!!

Loving that Kate Bush is number one download on iTunes. Seems that America has finally cottoned on.

Now THAT was SPECTACULAR 

What a thing to watch. Never again in our lifetimes will there be another platinum jubilee

That drone work was sublime

Love a drone display.

Diana Ross is going to miss another open goal

[EastAnglianFox]

Auto tune is one of life's great inventions

[Mike Oxlong]

D.ross for a reason

And demolish the goal posts into the bargain

Fvck me.. didn't know Jonathan Ross was a drag queen.

[EnderbyFox]

Diana Ross is a bit of an underwhelming finale. Would've put money on them thawing out Paul McCartney for a bit of Hey Jude 

[Guest Lako42]

The amount of miming going on really devalues some of this 

[Guest kristianity77]

Worst lip syncing ever

[tom27111]

Diana is struggling with the sound AND the outfit.

 

This could be as bad as the 1994 world cup opening ceremony. 

 

Still a better penalty taker than Marcus Rashford.

 

It's open to debate if Jadon Sancho is a better singer though.

[Arkie Bennett]

Autotune and miming. She is 78 though.

You would normally expect a real rousing finale. This is more likely to send the crowd home quietly to have their cocoa.

Shouldn't be the finale then. 

 

Be a bit gutted if you had paid out for one of her upcoming tour dates as she clearly isn't up to singing live. 

[Arkie Bennett]

Looking at the stage, I keep getting the urge to go and fill the car up.

[tom27111]

It didn't end well for the last Diana involved with the royal family 

[HybridFox]

The whole Diana Ross thing was a bit random tbh. For a finale it was a bit meh. But good few hours of TV. Loved the Paddington Bear skit. Just as the James Bond one at the Olympics

I'd have bought out Sir Elton for a full half hour at least. 

 

Tried to get a pre recorded banger from Phil Collins to keep Charles happy.

 

Then finished it off with The Rolling Stones.

 

Now THAT would've been a gig.
