The Queen had lemon at her wedding though - its a nod to Prince Philip too.

I think it sounds delicious

Platinum Jubliee Festival

ROBERT HARDMAN: Family, military and 600 horses...what a joyous gallop through the Queen's favourite things
16th May

When she comes to look back on the numerous events great and small in honour of the first Platinum Jubilee in British history, it's a safe bet that last night's emotional spectacular in her own back garden will be near the top of the Queen's list of happy memories.
She braved the night air for her first nocturnal engagement of the year (an outdoor one, too).
And, well past 10.30pm, she was very clearly continuing to enjoy herself enormously – receiving a thumping three cheers before heading home……

....Screened live on iTV, the event frequently brought the 5,000 strong crowd to its feet....
……………..
It was a very enjoyable and emotional star studded spectacular, and the Queen looked pretty good.

Good, I'll look out for those days being off when I next see my rota. My company better comply! (They do for every other bank holiday.)

Also, when the queen imminently dies, hopefully we also get another long weekend.

THE QUEEN delighted royal fans as she made an unscheduled appearance today in London to mark the completion of the Elizabeth Line.
By ALICE SCARSI 11:39, Tue, May 17, 2022 |

Her Majesty visited Paddington ahead of the launch of the new rail line named after her. The Queen was all smiles as she emerged from the lift at the London station in a dazzling bright yellow outfit.

The 96-year-old monarch donned a matching yellow hat and coat, under which could be spotted a blue, white and yellow dress with a floral pattern. The resilient Queen carried her signature bag and walked aided only by a light walking stick.
Her Majesty was accompanied to the west London station by her youngest son Prince Edward.

During the engagement, the royals chatted with Prime Minister Boris Johnson, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and TfL commissioner Andy Byford.
............
It's great to see her out and about.

Have to admit I loved it last week when she didn't go to some stuffy government thing with them saying she wasn't fit enough, but then she was at some other event (horses maybe?) all smiles. Hahaha. You have to admire that.

"Your majesty, there's an important event with Boris and..."
"F *** off I'm not going to that! Say I'm sick!"

I get the impression she is picking snd choosing where she goes now

[bots]

i think she has earned the right to pick and choose the events she attends, and we get get a picture of what she likes and what she doesn't
