The Canadian festivities were more muted affairs compared to the boisterous, four-day party that took place in London
The lineup of concerts, military parades and tributes culminated Sunday with a brief appearance from the monarch herself, who waved to tens of thousands of cheering celebrants from the balcony of Buckingham Palace while surrounded by three generations of heirs to the throne.
Saskatoon resident Tracy Pytlowany said the jubilee lunches people held across the U.K. inspired her to host a lunch of her own. About 300 people attended, enjoying a buffet of tandoori and butter chicken and watching performances that included The Sons of Scotland Pipe Band, Bollywood dancers and a singer who delivered a rendition of God Save the Queen.
The Governor General and her husband Whit Fraser have been in London throughout the weekend to take part in the Jubilee celebrations. In highlighting the unique connection between Canadians and the Queen, he pointed to the fact that she has visited the country 22 times, to every province and territory, often more than once.
