Arriving at Oxford Circus you see big Union Jacks all up the street, at train stations and on shop windows. I wonder why every single store has a flag and whether it would matter if they did or didn't, but one thing is obvious, you will never forget that you are in England at this moment!
The opening ceremony took place at the Epsom Derby, an annual horse racing event which included a parachute jump carrying a huge Union Jack. At 1pm the Queen arrived in her blue dress, to watch some of the races and award the winners. It was a fun experience analysing the horses and their riders and deciding afterwards who would win.
You can start with £2 and go up to hundreds if you are feeling confident. We were facing the Queen’s stand, where people could sit down on the grass, bring their own food and dress up as they wanted. In the Queen’s stand everyone was more traditional and women were supposed to wear a very nice hat. There were also buses people could stand in to watch the race.
