[willham95]

[TheGerman6th]

Only Disney could do it better!

[laurenf11]

Guy Fawkes would have bloody loved this!!!

having said that! this makes me so proud to be british! lets do this even better next year for her Diamond Jubilee!! 

[VigisKane]

@laurenf11

guy fawkes was against parliment not the monarchy

[laurenf11]

@VigisKane it was a joke

[Joysquigglesparkles]

DOES THE QUEEN HAVE A ROYAL DJ??????

[lubuoo]

@Joysquigglesparkles yeah, she has her own private band, so i geuss thats her definition of a dj. shes such a spoilt little misses

[TheAlysmom]

WOW spectacular...i wonder how much something like that costs the country?

[TehDocc]

@TheAlysmom I think the Queen pays for these things with her own money, the tax payers do have to pay for security such as police, but considering the amount of tourism these things bring in I'm sure it more than makes up for it.

[wyattbritt2k9]

what a good atmosphere! i cant wait till 2012, GOD SAVE OUR BRILLIANT QUEEN, its times like this you get reminded how lucky we are to have a queen

[amrite]

Does anyone know the first piece of music played?

[Vitruvium]

[Vitruvium]

God save the Queen!

[palapescada]

I am not British, but I cannot help admiring how the British people love and respect HM the Queen. She is a grand lady, and in my humble opinion is a fitting example of what a British sovereign should be. God save your gracious Queen, and may she reign for many years to come.

[KC253]

All this effort for one person...

You're totally worth it Ma'am!

God save the Queen!

[Glyndwr65]

It's the climax from "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" by Benjamin Britten.  The theme is based on a piece by Purcell.

[BozokinUnitedKingdom]

[IAMTHEALMIGHTYGOD]

thanks alot mate :)

[FusionWarrior]

Well God is British.

[ve2so]

What a surprise!

[goofygoat2009]

Thanks for posting this. As an American, I was always a fan of Great Britain and the British. I want to live in England some day. The Britsih have endured much over many centuries, produced the very best rock groups, the originators of civility and good manners and continue to lead a contry rich in history.

Not just God Save the Queen, God save Great Britain!

[woowoker]

where about's in the UK would you like to live?

[IAMTHEALMIGHTYGOD]

thank, im happy you like our culture and herriahge

[Alania21]

One would like to know what the devil they did to my house!

[justcornelius]

she paid for all of it.. it was more for national pride and unity than for her

and she has very little money off the tax payer for the job she does

[JULYO28]

she looks so happy, good bless her.

[324wilson]

The Queen's Golden Jubilee have done exactly what the politicians and the media cannot - unite the quiet majority of the country, giving us something to believe in and a sense of belonging. The harping from the vociferous minority who disagree is indicative of a small clique who will never be happy when the nation is united, as that doesn't serve their objective...

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!

[HMservant]

Jesus! Good job on the video, did you add the music or was it actually played?

[primative276]

it was actually played

[Glyndwr65]

Well I must confess it was videoed straight from the broadcast, and yes the music was part of the original display.  Glad you enjoyed it though!

[boyintheblue]

Thanks so much for adding this. I remember sitting watching this at home wishing I was there. We should do more of this as a nation.

[kilda93]

yes we should! i must admit i was surprised that so many people turned on that day, i was shocked while watching it on tv but i'm glad that the monarchy is still popular, she is a rock of stability and i hope she'll be queen for a long time yet! long live the queen! greetings from edinburgh, scotland!

[kilda93]

what month was the jubilee?

[EmperorMSW2]

Is this real? I mean the Elvis music?

[Glyndwr65]

Yes - the idea was to show the changing music of her reign. Part two of this clip continues the theme.

[jusitke07]

God save the Queen!!

[ronnygin]

U british should be proud of this, it's like fantasy world. Wow, I never experienced anything like that.

[arthur7171]

I can't imagine what it will be like after Queen Liz, she's defo been the best monarch.

[yokowich]

The queen is 12th richest monarchs.

The richest monarch is the monarchs of Thailand, King Bhumibol.

[mattismight]

Exactly. The Queen's money is just money that's been redistributed from Briton's taxes.

[marek4400]

You are what you are because of people like her and her predecesors.

Be grateful.

[mattismight]

That's not only offensive but absurd.

[marek4400]

Ok, you can thank Churchill as well,if you like...

absurd not, for it is the truth.

[mattismight]

Of course Churchill should be thanked for the inspirational leadership he gave. But that you live out the millions of troops who fought against Nazi and Japanese tyranny is a bit worrying.

[darkmachete]

Are you fucking retarded? British forces never fought the Japanese. Also all wars have deaths. Britain defended Poland, and itself from Nazis. When defending yourself regardless of how your defending yourself (Verbal, Physical etc.) You gotta be willing to take a few blows.

"You have enemies? Good, that means you've stood up for something in your life."

- Winston Churchill

[mattismight]

"British forces never fought the Japanese"

Incorrect and quite offensive to the thousands of British soldiers who fought the Japanese. Britain's imperial interests in the Far East meant it inevitable the country sent troops there to try to protect British colonies from Japanese forces. The result was thousands of Britons killed or taken prisoner by the Japanese imperial authorities. Have you not seen the film, The Bridge on the River Kwai?

[darkmachete]

I'll watch that movie. I wasn't aware that British forces fought the Japanese. Since they had their hands full with the Nazis so much that they couldn't even cross over to France.

But, I live in America. So all I hear is "England (Correction Britain) fought the Nazis, and America fought the Japanese." They don't teach us this stuff in America. I read your youtube account. And if your in college, your more than likely correct about it.

My dad's from England, I sure as hell wouldn't offend them!

[mattismight]

That's ok. I think there's probably many Britons who don't realise the extent of the British campaign in World War Two. In fact, the British campaign in the Far East is sometimes referred to as the 'Forgotten War'. Just a further point about that film, although it has achieved fairly iconic status in Britain, some were not too impressed with its plot for historical accuracy.

[SinCityCabaret]

ok just to correct you .... my grandfather fought the Japanese as a British commando in Burma, and yes watch a film called "The Bridge on the River Kwai is a British 1957 World War II film by David Lean" It ll explain lots to you.

[darkmachete]

Okay just so you know, I already watched that film, I now know the British fought the Japanese. I love Britain and all that, but how the hell am I supposed to know they fought the Japanese if the Americans keep ranting on about them fighting the Japanese? Americans just talk about them fighting the Japanese. Never once was it mentioned that Britain fought the Japanese.

[theredraven]

Britain never fought the Japanese?

Go read about the fall of Singapore, the attack on Force Z, the Chindit campaign, Burma and the Japanese naval assault on the Indian Ocean.

[aeonbrit]

actuly Britian did battle Japan tho it was scracely reported tho sincepeoplewe're over joyed at the fall of germany so kindly learn your history

[darkmachete]

OI! I live in America! Not Britain! I wish I lived in Britain! But I don't! The teachers in America never say "British forces fought the Japanese" It's always Britain vs. the Nazis, and America vs. Japan.

[oldgattonian2]

The British fleet assisted the US fleet at Okinawa and even had 2 carriers hit by Japanese kamikazes. Thanks to the armored flight decks the British carriers suffered little damage. The British forces in 1945 attacked Japanese air bases close to Okinawa to cut down on Kamikazes attacks on the US fleet.

Several British warships were present in Tokyo Bay when Japan surrendered on September 2 1945.

[mattismight]

Could this money not have been better spent?

[justcornelius]

the queen paid for all of it herself, no public money was used

[Clayton240183]

this is the kind of effect london should go for in 2012 for the olympics. It brings the country together

[yokowich]

Beijing is the best olympic

[Clayton240183]

Apparently not, it was "a most exceptional games." Sydney was the best ever

[yokowich]

Sydney is the best olympic in 8 years ago.

[nanananahhhbhf]

thats my queen right there. i'm so proud to be british and would not change my nationality to save my life!

[34gregory]

amazing

[ufayad]

im surprised that handel's "music for the royal fireworks" wasn't played here...

[RichGrant08]

What A Great Event And Fireworks Show

[Fasan1980]

Because the British monarchy still has 70-80% of approval in the population, nothing else is left to anti-monarchists than to attack the monarchy with vague and insulting conspiracy and reptiles theories. Not completely, besides, the authors of such "books" on account of the stupidity of many people still become rich. Illuminaten, reptiles, aliens all dizziness to whom only addicted to ace ones believe.

[Fasan1980]

Support the Commonwealth, the Union and the Monarchy. God save the Queen!!!

[Steeleperfect]

Thanks for posting all these wonderful clips. The Jubilee meant a lot to me. I'd never been so proud of my people.

[RenShiWu]

"Jailhouse Rock?" Did they actually play that for the jubilee? It seems really out of place to have a song set in an American prison for a British royal pageant. Who organized this thing? Did the queen have any input at all?

[lborogay]

The Queen paid for the whole event...the idea is to celebrate the music from when the Queen ascended the throne. The Queen, I believe, had a great affinity in her youth for the popular music of the time. I think, perhaps, one is reading slightly too far into the choice of music!

[AnnaweV]

The music played at the start of the firework display, was some of the most popular songs from the Queens 50 years on the throne.

A great display: Bit a pity the B.B.C. felt they had to change camera angles every few seconds.

[TheBritishRoyalist]

Great!!!

[meroyn]

saw this on television i must admit the fireowkrs could have been better thought out, there are some moment when they seem non existent, but it was a good occasion to celebrate. before i'm thumbed down for seeing it on televsion may i remind the 12 million londoners that the other 50 million britons do not live in London and it os not the centre of the world i did not waste my money to see when it was on tele anyway

[meroyn]

fireworks are a little dissapointing for the Golden Jubilee, not sure why they chose American music to celebrate the British monarchs jubilee either. Victoria had hers on the Thames,a much bigger display more akin to the 2008 new years day display

[SimplyBen84]

The Golden Jubilee was massive - one of the biggest partites Britian has ever had. Where were you? America?

What a cynic you are. Let me remind you the Queen paid for the whole thing, including Harrods picnics for 20,000 people. and most nationalities were represented by music choices.

This was a happy time for most Brits, dont be such a buzz kill.

[meroyn]

I live in England and have never set foot on foreign soil does that answer your question.

[SimplyBen84]

yeah, it does.

[meroyn]

i come from a poor family that cannot afford off hand trips to London, i admire the Queen greatly and wish shell reign another 30 years and outlive old charles - its just that i expected so much more 0:58 for example, it just seems so - naff, yes great she paid for it all, but should she pay for her own jubilee? surely it should be a huge celebtration nationwide when the country spends a bit in affection of their great Queen, not tell her - 'coff up cos we wont', it could have been much better

[SimplyBen84]

I think the queen deliberatly paid for it her self so the anti-monarchists wouldnt have anything to moan about, dispite your disapointment at the fireworks all in all I'd have to say its still one the most extragant Parties the Uk has had. Imagine the costs of the picnics, and Im guessing the musicians did do it for free.

[rulebritannia1]

the queen paid for harrods goods ?????????

[SimplyBen84]

Lol apparantly...I remeber reading at the time (from the BBC website) that all those who were sa in the grouds got a free harrods picnic, which of course was rather preentiuos - some fancy chicken sandwhich amoungst other things.

[rulebritannia1]

that must be a typo the queen buying things from al fayed if that ever happend the world would end

[brentybabes]

i was always under the impression that food for state occasions came from fortnum and mason, the hamper and picnic specialists =]

[rulebritannia1]

it would come mainly from producers who are under royal appointment.

[olbapchelsea]

I been there, very nice day....i miss London.

[rus2806]

Thanks for this video! It brings back fond memories from my stay in London in the Golden Jubilee Weekend. I won´t even begin to express how it felt to be there that night, in front of the Palace: The grand music, the fireworks, the flags, the houndreds of thousands of happy well-wishers. I love the expression on the Queen´s face and especially that on the kid at 00:15 -speak of high expectations :o) I can hardly wait for the Queen´s Diamond Jubilee in 2012. God Save the Queen! Long May She Live!

[pedrcymro]

Wonderful: I would have loved to have been there.

[stewartkee]

I Remember Watching This On T.V. Fucking Ace!!!

[DavidTL]

I wish I'd been there in person!

[darylcollins1986]

What a video mate, that was a truly amazing day!!!

[issac82]

we do it better than anyone else....

[324wilson]

cool.....

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!
