A stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace, the most fervent admirers of the crown have already taken their places on Wednesday, June 1. Around the queen, everyone makes new friends. A long history of 70 years binds majesty to its subjects. While the queen, tired, slowly leaves the front of the stage, it is the whole country, but also foreign tourists, who seize one of the last opportunities to show her their attachment.
