Queen's Diamond Jubilee royal barge design unveiled

The first image has been released of the royal barge that will carry the Queen down the Thames during her Diamond Jubilee celebrations next year.

The vessel will lead a 1,000-strong flotilla along the river on 3 June, as the monarch marks 60 years on the throne.

She will be joined on board by her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, and other members of the Royal Family.

The barge will be adorned with flowers from the Queen's gardens.

The monarch and her husband will be seated on ornate chairs under a gold canopy as the vessel, the Spirit of Chartwell, cruises down the Thames...

I would comment on this with an open heart and mind...except - it would probably be censored by your government.

To say the least, the news that you report about the Queen does not thrill me - it fills me with loathing.

I do not like the Queen.

Do you think the government in UK controls all media and speech of the people?

America being the land of the free and everywhere else being controlled?

Compared to Rick Perry here in the Lone Star State, the Queen looks pretty good as a leader.

Queen is cool. Old and expensive and has a near-do-well kid... Perfecct, yes? 

Not to mention her being a resource for Pudding's hats...

Looks good! I like the oriental feel.
