Just went for a walk of about a mile with my dog. It was mostly along terraced streets full of small houses and I saw just one lot of union flags on display. With three days to go, it would appear that enthusiasm for Royal events has fallen off a cliff up here - a year ago ago, there was far more enthusiasm for the Queen's seventieth anniversary on the throne, but there was even more a few years back when that woman who everyone is supposed to hate now married one of Di's sons - don't think there'll be many up here pledging allegiance this weekend.
