The Highlight of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee Celebration
During 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.

Rock Bridge High School made a change in their traditions. Senior Zachary Willmore won the title of homecoming queen at this year's homecoming game.
Anyone can be a king or a queen!Zachary Willmore is the first-ever male homecoming queen at Rock Bridge High School. He is a cheerleader on the school’s varsity team, and is using his platform on TikTok to advocate for changes in the school’s dress code. The influencer put a poll on social media asking if he should aim for the title of homecoming king or queen. "They thought queen could look prettier on the sash," Willmore explained. "So I chose queen."The RBHS dress code is undergoing a revision to be more inclusive of all students. According to the official student handbook, “dress and grooming are considered matters of individual taste. The primary responsibility of dress for school is left to students and parents. The RBHS administration reserves the right to limit specific dress that is disruptive, distracting, unsafe or inappropriate for the school environment.”Hopefully, his win and continuous rallying for a better and inclusive dress code system will push more schools in updating their own rulebook.#ZacharyWillmore #DressCode #Homecoming #Queen #School image credit: Zachary Willmore / Instagram
