Service From St George's Chapel Windsor

Windsor Castle .A favourite home of her Majesty.I dont usually do two entry's in one day ,But I have been watching the service from St Georges Chapel Windsor on BBC 1 on the Television,and so enjoyed it I thought I would share ,I know many of you will have watched it too,the Queen was joined by all her family ,to celebrate both her 80th  Birthday ,and St Georges day ,She looked so lovely in what I thought was a dove grey coat ,with matching hat,the inner brim of which was a light coral colour ,and a flower of the same colour on the outer brim ,When they later gathered on the steps out side the chapel ,I think the colour was more a pale duck egg blue,it looked really lovely anyway ,How come she always looks so nice ,but on special occasions manages to look just that bit more special .As I said all her family ,The Duke of Edinburgh ,Prince Charles and Camilla ,Diannas boys then Prince Edward and his wife Sophie ,behind them I saw Princess Margarets son ,across the aisle Princess Anne and her husband ,with her children ,beside them was Prince Andrew and his daughters ,Beatrice and Eugene.The kents were there and the Gloucesters ,and I even spotted Charles the Earl Spencer ,Dianna's brother. The hymns ,prayers were splendid ,'Thine be the Glory',, a special anthem was written and sung to commemorate the birthday ,and another anthem'Oh Harken Thou' which was sung at the Queens fathers coronation was also sung ,as well as the lovely'The King of Love My Shepherd is '(we sang that at my late husbands funeral service )The sermon given by The Rev David Connor was wonderful he was full of praise for the Queen who had given her life for our service ..she sat through it with a quiet dignity,though I did notice David her nephew slightly nodding his head in agreement , and as we do, during the singing of the last hymn the Queen fumbles ,as we do ,for her bag to find her collection! After the service they all left the chapel led by The Military Knights the oldest est,in the army list ,all retired Amy Officers,and waited at the West door to greet the Queen and the Duke as they were escorted out of the chapel by The Dean of Windsor,whilst the other Cannons escorted the other members of the Royal family.They all gathered on the steps before going off to a reception at Windsor Castle,to no doubt celebrate some more ,the birthday of our Dear Queen .

Have a good Sunday evening every one Jan xx
