To make it even more confusing, polo ponies are in fact horses. They are usually thoroughbreds between 15-15.3 hands, tall enough to carry a big rider while still being small enough to move agilely.

Thank you! I did think they looked pretty tall!
Yes you're right, Polo ponies are usually around 15 hands maybe 15.2, above that they are usually horses.
I just bought this scarf: https://silkenfavours.com/shop/accessories/pre-order-majesty/
They did these originally for diamond jubilee and sold out, so I'm excited they've re-issued.
Silken favours did another scarf for the Platinum jubilee for Fortnum and Mason.

I'm thinking of getting a few 1/4 Platinum Jubilee Sovereigns...I've wanted a coin bracelet for ages and I have small wrists so I think the size will be good. One coin comes cheaper than the jubilee scarf 
Oooo la la. Beautiful. Where may we purchase these?I'm thinking of getting a few 1/4 Platinum Jubilee Sovereigns...I've wanted a coin bracelet for ages and I have small wrists so I think the size will be good. One coin comes cheaper than the jubilee scarf

They are not restricted to just the UK. I've found several offers from certified coin dealers in Germany via Google, the 1/4 is around 150 Euros for 2 g and the full one a little over 500 for just shy of 8 g of 916/22ct gold.

The Queen was visibly upset the day of the Windsor fire but stoic as ever on her headscarf who watches this rubbish ?
I will absolutely watch the next season of the crown - it's one of my favourite shows. However, I watch it knowing that it isn't a documentary or factual re-telling. Sometimes I watch it and then go and look at the actual historical event (I'd never heard of the london smog thing, or even Aberfan).
Even if I wanted to I couldn't because all I see when looking at Imelda Staunton is Dolores Umbridge

I thought she was an odd choice for the Queen. She's almost always cast as an unlikeable character.Even if I wanted to I couldn't because all I see when looking at Imelda Staunton is Dolores Umbridge
I won't be watching The Crown any longer. I did not find the previous season enjoyable & Netflix has lost me for good due to other shenanigans.
Yeah.....not going to lie I am a little concerned about this. Prince Philip I'm also a bit worried about.....this guy looks nothing like him!Even if I wanted to I couldn't because all I see when looking at Imelda Staunton is Dolores Umbridge
I enjoyed seasons 1 and 2 the most, 3 and 4 felt much more political to me, as opposed to personal.
The Crown and the Queen were written by the same person weren't they? It's interesting that in the Queen he's very sympathetic towards her, but the Crown is less so. I suppose they capture different times.
