Lyndsey's thoughts as the Queen prepares for her diamond jubilee

While prince Harry is traveling to Brazil in march after a jubilee trip to Jamaica, Belize and the Bahamas the queen will be staying in England to get ready for her grand diamond jubilee which will mark 60 years of reign. In the news lately was a story about the queen will address the parliament joint session for jubilee. Sir George Young said the queen would address a joint session of parliament in Westminster hall on 20 March. In her gold and silver jubilee in 1977 and 2002 she made similar addresses. This all relates to me about a similar story in the bible about Jesus and his disciples. The idea of a important person being drawn into somewhere with a lot of people to celebrate something.


In the bible Jesus rides on a donkey into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, it is a very popular screen where he is on a donkey and rides into the town while the community fan him with huge palm leaves and rides on and people put their robes and coats down fro him to ride on and also some small branches. The people sang the name of the lord to point out he was coming in peace. This story relates to the queen’s jubilee a lot. Jesus and the queen are too very different characters but they are iconic figures for young people to respect and to look up to. On the day of the jubilee the queen will be coming in a royal transport of some form and everyone will be watching her and recording the event like they did back in Jesus’s time that is why we have bibles now.
