Recommended music to listen to when reading this page:
Soul
Limbo or Mambo
number 5 (opens in a new window)
|
Women ... |
... men ... |
... and children line the streets |
Freddie takes the applause ... |
... and a glass of champage ... |
... but how's the hangover? |
Kevin Pietersen ... |
... the man with "six" appeal ... |
... and a strong voice |
2005 was not just successful for England's men ... |
... but was also the year the women's team won |
Everyone flocks to Trafalgar Square ... |
... for a ceremony in front of the National Gallery |
England won the series 2-1 ... |
... with lots of 4s ... |
... and a few 6s |
(1)
And did those feet in ancient times Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? |
(2)
And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon those clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Amongst those dark satanic mills? |
(3)
Bring me my bow of burning gold Bring me my arrows of desire Bring me my spear o clouds unfold Bring me my chariot of fire |
(4)
I shall not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Til we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land |
An opera singer joins in for a few rousing songs ... |
... including the hymn "Jerusalem" |
Some fans dance in the fountains ... |
... others get up onto the stage |
Hundreds of flags ... |
... fill the square |
Congratulations to the English men's cricket team! |
Congratulations also to the English women's cricket team! |
