WAS mine the only heart to sink yesterday when I read through the plans to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee? Did anyone else’s skin crawl at the thought of seeing her loyal subjects cheering her through the streets with flags and bunting? Another historic event in the story of the UK’s longest-running soap opera, with enough twists and turns to satisfy even the most ardent EastEnders fan. Will we ever run out of special dates which demand to be marked by street parties and free Gary Barlow concerts? These events are always difficult for independence supporters, even ones who don’t necessarily want to consign the royal family to history.
