Review

There are still a lot of us around that either count the United Kingdom as our birthplace or at least our ancestor’s birthplace. And then there are a lot of us who, whether or not we believe in independence respect the Queen for her untiring efforts. To celebrate, the London Philharmonic Orchestra has released the Official CD to complement her Diamond Jubilee celebrations. This is unashamedly naff, with songs like the Radio 4 UK Theme and James Bond Theme alongside the Fantasia on Greensleeves and Overture to HMS Pinafore. This is just for fun and to celebrate a pretty amazing woman.
