What do you give a 96-year-old monarch who has everything? The biggest four days of partying imaginable.

But it would be a mistake to suggest this is simply some exercise in patriotism. It is an unabashed celebration not of the institution of the Crown, but the individual who wears it. “No monarch by her efforts and dedication and achievement better deserves the attribute of greatness and for me, she is already Elizabeth the Great.”

A lemon Swiss roll-inspired pudding won a nationwide baking contest to dedicate a dessert to the Queen, while BBC Radio listeners voted Neil Diamond’s 1969 hitas the song of the Platinum Jubilee, to be sung across the country at street parties and gatherings. “Because of the national significance, it is definitely adding something,” he said. “I have to be calm,” he says, of flying at more than 1000 km/h, “otherwise the team get nervous”.

Give her a night out with Peter Dutton!

Redundancy

How much will it cost

An Australian republic

A game of Connect 4, except she has to connect 4 countries that still give a shite about the monarch. The other team has to connect 4 countries that were colonised and have since formed true independence. Sorry Australia, she's still on your money and the flag is on yours

Perhaps give her some spine? We remember Ms Windsor's gutless cop out in 1975. Apparently the monarch’s appointed representative is not accountable to the monarch. What a coward. Auspol

‘Already Elizabeth the Great’: Britain readies to party one last time for beloved monarchIt would be a mistake to suggest this is simply some sort of patriot exercise in overdrive. It is an unabashed celebration not of the institution of the Crown, but the individual who wears it. Spare me. This is a woman who is friends with Jimmy Seville and Rolf Harris. Her son is a pedophile and her family is wealth was built on murder, invasion and Machiavellian betrayal. She's a welfare cheat and tax dodger. She is nobody's idol or hero. I imagine there’s been countless times over the past seventy years when HM wished she had a quiet private life, nevertheless she never shied away from the role thrust upon her. The living embodiment of ‘get up, dress up, show up’. God bless her.
