I was lucky enough, this week, to visit Buckingham Palace, and see the special exhibition of some of the Queen's personal diamond jewellery. This a special exhibition to mark the Diamond Jubilee. Wonderful.
pearls scattered here and there.
All these lovely treasures made
for our Queen to wear.
I think it's very kind of her
to put them on display.
I went down to the Palace
and it really made my day.
Glass cases in a darkened room
all lit up from within.
Each exhibit just sparkled
and got me in a spin!
Queen Victoria's tiny crown
with diamond sparks just gleams
with almost 2 thousand diamonds
it's often in my dreams.
There were several tiaras
I knew each one quite well,
but to see them there for real
cast a most Majestic spell.
The Coronation Necklace
must be seen to be believed.
A thousand diamond rainbows
that I saw them, I'm relieved.
There were diamonds and emeralds
which glowed with brilliant green...
"The Delhi Durbar Necklace,"
on our Queen it's often seen.
I felt so very privileged
to enter our Queen's home.
I stayed in there for hours
just staring at each stone!
And when I dragged myself away -
another treat in store,
we had tea in the Palace gardens,
Oh who could ask for more!
