The weather was wild too as the afternoon saw brief glimpses of sunshine, then rain and then sleet, none of which dampened the spirits of those attending the event. The Queen was treated to a maypole dancing display by local school children. After being treated to a display by the Royal Ballet School and meeting member of local clubs and associations The Queen and Prince Philip left the Wild London celebration. The subjects of Richmond of Upon Thames took the opportunity to wish the Queen well in her diamond jubilee year.
