Dog Days The four-step guide to ensuring your canine pal can travel abroad when you do.

There’s no dog owner who hasn’t experienced that pang of sorrow when you’re forced to leave your four-legged friend behind.

So while providers are wising up to the fact that finding a way to involve our beloved pets actually translates into more bookings – Uber have recently launched a pet travel scheme – when going abroad the requirements are understandably more complicated; and post-Covid, it’s worth reacquainting yourself with what’s required so you, and you’re your pet, don’t get stuck at customs!

Firstly, you will need to visit your vet at least one month before travelling to ensure that your dog is microchipped and has a valid rabies vaccination.

You will also need to obtain an Animal Health Certificate – this can only be issued by an official veterinarian, so find a practice and book your appointment in advance.

The certificate is valid for 10 days before entry must be made to EU or Northern Ireland, and expires in four months, by which time you must have returned Great Britain.

Before you leave, ensure you update your holiday details on your pet’s microchip record, and check to see if your pet insurance covers you for your trip. If it doesn’t, take out

additional insurance in exactly the same way you would for family members.

If you are travelling to Finland, Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Norway or Malta, you will also need to treat your dog for tapeworm and ensure it is recorded.

When travelling, pack all your doggy essentials, but remember you are not allowed to take pet food with you. On the trip, your animal will usually be on the plane with you – in-cabin, as accompanied baggage, or as cargo – and will be charged according to the airline’s procedure.

Arriving at the border of another country without the correct paperwork could spell bad news for you and your dog. You may be returned back to Great Britain, or the dog placed into quarantine, something which is stressful and upsetting for all parties.

And remember, while most people fret about getting their dogs overseas, this is really only the start of it, and it’s important to ensure they are catered for when there. That means limiting long journeys whilst on holiday, ensuring plenty of shade from hot weather, and being in a location where your animal can relax, preferably away from loud noises.

The Queen’s Jubilee: Platinum Pomp The work that goes on behind the scenes to mark Jubilee celebrations.

Soldiers, horses and musicians It all starts to come to fruition on the Thursday, as Trooping the Colour marks the Queen’s birthday celebrations. Over 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians will come together in the traditional Parade. This is the first Jubilee celebration in which women will be included in the regiment, so additional preparations have been made to ensure the influx of first-time participants.

RAF fly-past The traditional RAF fly-past completes the parade. The routine will have been practised countless times, though contrary to popular belief, this isn’t just a privilege reserved for the Queen. In the lead-up to the event, local communities have been invited to apply for their own fly-pasts.

Jubilee beacons A fortnight before the Jubilee, 1,500 Platinum Jubilee beacons will have been distributed across the UK. This lighting of beacons first took place in 1897 to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and are a symbol of unity across towns, borders, countries and continents.

service at St Paul’s Cathedral.

Public safety elements come to the fore here, with tens of thousands of well-wishers lining the streets around the Thames as the Queen and family members attend.

The Derby A day of leisure follows on the Saturday as the Queen visits The Derby at Epsom Downs.

The event itself is over 240 years old and has garnered a different winner every year, and is open only to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and fillies who have qualified for the race in the months preceding it. It remains the race that offers the biggest prize pot in the British racing – over £1.1million.

10,000 charitable tickets In the evening, Elizabeth returns to London for a party at Buckingham Palace. In the months leading up to the event, which features music and drama celebrating some of the most significant cultural

moments from The Queen’s seven-decade, over 10,000 tickets have been made available to charitable organisations. This has been two years in the planning.

Street celebrations Finally, on Sunday, June 5th, communities across the UK are invited play out their own Platinum Jubilee street celebrations. Named The Big Lunch and launched in 2009, communities have been planning for months how they wish to mark the special day, with up over 1,500 applications made.

200 silk scarfs At the same time, the Platinum Jubilee Pageant sees artistic performers, dancers, musicians, military personnel, key workers and volunteers tell the story of the Queen’s 70-year reign.

It includes a ‘River of Hope’ section comprised of 200 silk flags made by primary and secondary school children.

THE QUEEN

in her own words Quiet, impeccably mannered, but always addressing with poise and precision, what Queen Elizabeth II says is always worth hearing.

“I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.”

THE QUEEN AND DIANA The idea that the Queen was in some way unapproving of Diana is one that has permeated the popular press and, it might be said, has left an indelible stain on the reputation of both. Yet many biographers have noted that the relationship between the two was excellent, even after the break-up of Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles.

“No one who knew Diana will ever forget her.

Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her.

“She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.”

SERVING HER COUNTRY Upon the Queen’s coronation, she declared herself fully at the service of the nation she was serving, as have all Monarchs coming to the throne. While the words are regularly spoken, the intensity with which they were said perhaps should have given some indication that Elizabeth truly was giving herself over to the nation, a fact that has been borne out in the 70 years that have followed.

STRUGGLES Taking strength from all around her, the Queen has never professed to have all the answers.

“I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.”

FAMILY Bringing the royals back to a status where people can empathise and share in the joys and pain of the family unit, is something Elizabeth has excelled in.

“Like all best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.”

CONTRITION Finally, the Queen has not only had to reference and apologise for events that occurred long before she was born.

“To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.”

Summer Shades

The weather may be hard to predict this British summertime, but with this colour forecast straight from the spring/summer catwalk you’ll be looking hot ‘till Halloween.

Primrose yellow No sunshine, no problem! Bring your own rays in this brilliant banana hue. Show off tanned legs in a cute yellow mini or simply accessorise with an oversized tote bag or summery sandals.

Expect to also see other yellow-based tones hit the heights this summer, notably butter or oyster. These are shades that should be used in a subtle, minimalist way, meaning less is more.

Traffic cone orange As if doffing a cap to the petrol crisis which has consumed us in 2022, traffic cone orange joins the road trip as one of the standout colours for this summer.

It’s a look that has gained serious momentum on the catwalks, perhaps thanks to its versatility across trousers, knitwear, shoes, accessories, or anything else you crave.

So be bold with a fiery orange maxi-dress; or channel your inner geisha with a floral kimono-style gown; or be a sassy señorita with an off-shoulder frock.

Bubblegum pink Being pretty in pink is a prerequisite for any summer, but while pale and dogwood tree pinks have guided us towards more subtle looks in the

past, in 2022 things are set to go mass market, with bright, breezy, bubbleguminspired shades of exuberance.

Perhaps a bit too stand-out by itself for evening events and weddings, the brightness of pink can be toned down with clever use of canvas white, or made more formal by matching with a darker shade.

Kale If there is one colour expected to be the colour of summer 2022, it’s green; although what shade you choose to show off is entirely up to you, going all the way from saturated to neon to British Racing green.

While kale takes on some of the darker elements, it’s perfect for beach contrast and evening wear in equal measure, and getting your five-a-day with this glorious green shade will make you stand out.

Very close to khaki, kale is the ideal colour for those who prefer a subtler look, but still want to embrace the season. Think silk shirts, sheer beach cover-ups and shorts.

Silver Shine bright like a diamond with some space-age additions. Subtle starlets can simply embellish with chunky silver jewellery or metallic trainers or wedges; while Intergalactic warriors can be bold with silver pleated skirts, and even painted leather jackets. If in doubt, shine on.

As an accessorising colour silver has previously been dismissed as too metallic, but done well you can work it in as a complementary colour that shows off virtually any shade.
