Video on the BBC including an empty Bullring during yesterday's Royal Wedding

Not everyone enjoyed the wedding

Quote:
Not everyone in the West Midlands enjoyed the royal working.

Some people in Tamworth had to go into the office, while binmen in Sandwell opted to continue working and shoppers at Birmingham's Bullring took advantage of the morning being less busy than usual.

And in Stoke-on-Trent a "Not the royal wedding" street party was organised.

Had a random stroll around today, and found the entrance to Moor Street car park from under the train track, nice art in the car park

[QUOTE=ReissOmari;89527025]Selfridges lit up in green, Dedication to St. Paddy's

They used to do this in the past but didn't seem to have bothered lately.... I wonder if we'll get it lit up pink for Pride?

Bullring bull gets Diamond Jubilee makeover

The city is due to host Olympic training camps for the USA and Jamaican teams

The Bullring shopping centre said the bull statue would continue to wear the outfit through the summer as the city celebrates its role in the Olympics.

The statue's outfit has been created by professional costume designer Nicola Teale.

In June, the country is due to mark 60 years of the Queen's reign with a range of celebrations across the UK.

Does anyone have any renders of the bull ring so they can be compared to the real thing?
