The IdeasTap Team's Blog

There’s bunting on Bermondsey Street, a pageant on the Thames and not one but two national holidays coming up. That’s right, in case it has escaped your notice it’s exactly 60 years on Tuesday since Freddie Mercury stood before the peerage in Westminster Abbey and became head of the commonwealth.

The theme of this week’s playlist is (royal fanfare please…) QUEEN. 

Have a lovely long weekend!
