There seems to be a mixed reaction to this particular celebration. A lot has happened to the country in general, and the Royal Family in particular, ine the last 25 years, and the monarchy don't seem to enjoy the unconditional love of the people that they did back then. No doubt the BBC and the media will whip it all up into something 'special', but the overall mood thus far among the 'ordinary people' seems to be one of indifference.
