  2. I bet I'm at least the 1,000th person to make the pun "long to rain over us" today. #bbcjubilee
  3. "I think the Queen could step down from the ..." WTF? "... barge ..." Oh. #bbcjubilee
  4. Tower Bridge just blew up. #bbcjubilee
  5. That awkward moment when the Queen isn't sure whether she should join in, stay quiet, or just tentatively hum. #nationalanthem #bbcjubilee

  11. Look at Her Majesty whiz by. The guy with the umbrella can hardly keep up. Eighty-six my arse. #bbcjubilee
  12. Tower Bridge appears set to engage in a grotesquely proportioned, mechanical frottage session. #bbcjubilee #featofengineering
  13. Most heartwarming thing about the Diamond Jubilee pageant so far is that David Cameron is nowhere to be seen. #bbcjubilee
  14. They're getting a "little bit tight" as they come under London Bridge. Lay off the gin, Your Majesty! #bbcjubilee
  15. Dear old man clung to a dead shark for England. #bbcjubilee
  16. Hallo, sailors! #bbcjubilee
