Images of Queen Elizabeth Projected onto Stonehenge for Platinum JubileeJoining the entire commonwealth to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, Stonehenge displayed Her Majesty’s images onto its surfaces. Ahead of the 70th Jubilee celebration, seven photos from each decade of the queen’s reigning era were projected onto the prehistoric landmark. Some of the photos show the queen in her full monarchy regalia; some were from private moments such as the queen walking her beloved corgis."We wanted to show different aspects of the Queen -- of her personality, of her interests and really show what a special lady she is," said English Heritage, the Stonehenge’s official custodian, in a statement.Image: EH_Stonehenge/Twitter#QueenElizabeth #Stonehenge #PlatinumJubilee #corgi

The Highlight of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee CelebrationDuring the telecast of the concert accompanying Queen Elizabeth's platinum jubilee celebrations, viewers were treated to a short film in which the queen tried out her comedy acting chops, playing off every Brit's favorite teddy bear- Paddington Bear! The two are bonding over a cup of tea. One minute of the short was released to the public, in which we learn the answer to that age-old question- what does the queen keep in her purse? The charming vignette ends with a segue into Queen's "We Will Rock You." The film was a surprise to the audience, as it was recorded much earlier and kept under wraps. Queen Elizabeth did not attend the concert herself due to health concerns, but everyone else was sure she was there in spirit.
