So, as you may have noticed there have been celebrations and parties popping up all around the country to mark the 60 year reign of Queen Elizabeth II. This has been a huge event for England and . for many other countries, especially those who are part of the Commonwealth. I, although I didn't really take part in the celebrations, like the Royal Family, what they stand for and don't really understand why there is so much resentment towards them.
They provide a sense of unity between countries that otherwise would not be associated with them, i don't mean politically I mean within public opinion. The Royal Family besides providing a huge a profitable tourist attraction for the country provides a central focus of unity and peace all around the world. They help us to remember the traditions that England used to be so proud of and remind us of our heritage.
If they were really as bad as so many people make them out to be then the turn out to the street parties, village celebrations, honouree concerts and so many more really wouldn't have been so high and if nothing else remember that the Royal Family has provided us with more extended weekends and excuses to celebrate.
