The Queen of comedy! Monarch, 96, is hailed for her reaction to Omid Djalili’s awkward joke and Alan Titchmarsh’s fawning tribute at Platinum Jubilee celebration
The Queen was cheered for her impeccable comic timing today – as her reactions to Alan Titchmarsh and Omid Djalili’s parts of the Platinum Jubilee celebration caused delight for crowds and the 5million-plus people watching at home.
Her Majesty was subjected to a number of soft jokes and praise during the ITV-broadcasted spectacular last night, where she even raised an arm to the crowd after Mr Djalili’s gag about her missing the State Opening of Parliament won him a bet with an Ipswich kebab shop owner. She also tittered when he made a joke about Guy Fawkes.
And in another hilarious moment the 96-year-old monarch gave an almighty shrug when Mr Titchmarsh praised her 70 years on the throne, and called her the ‘constant heartbeat’ of Britain.
The fun came on an extraordinary night where Her Majesty lifted the nation’s spirits and received cheers and a standing ovation from the crowd at the spectacular finale to the Royal Windsor Horse Show – her second visit there in the past…
