So there's a party going on... just not round here

Is there actually a Jubilee on? Because, despite the media saturation and amount of bunting for sale in the shops, I have not seen one shred of evidence that any parties were going on during my travels today and yesterday.

In fact the only evidence that anything is going on at all is the rather damp 'beacon' they are building in the park for tomorrow.

I wonder if it will burn?
