With all the doom and gloom that's about this year, it is so heart-warming to have the Jubilee Bank holiday to cheer us all up.

Perhaps we can all take a leaf out of the Queen's book. She has worked very hard and devoted her life to her country and her family and retains such dignity throughout.

Despite what some may think, the Royal family and particularly the Queen, add huge value to the economy of Great Britain through tourism and general interest and we need as much of that as possible right now.

Happy Jubilee weekend - let's enjoy the frivolities while we can. Bring on the sun.
