GYLES’S JUBILEE ODE

ROYAL biographer Gyles Brandreth (right), who sported a splendid corgi jumper at yesterday’s Big Jubilee Lunch at The Oval in London, writes a Jubilee ode: ‘The Queen I’m told was heard to say/Why are my subjects now at play?/If they believe my reign is up/They need less wine & beer to sup./I haven’t held this throne for naught/My plan’s to stay, just hold that thought./U think it’s time for Chas & Cam?/ They’re not in charge just yet — I am!’
