But first the spotlight falls on The Queen, who is celebrating her Diamond Jubilee this weekend, ensuring this summer is set to be a right royal affair.

And to honour the best of British theme, official provider of short breaks to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Thomas Cook, has created Games Breaks to combine the Royals' love of sport with the Queen's 60th year on the throne.
Inspiration was sparked by reports that the Royals will look to attend some of their favourite live sporting events to cheer on our athletes in person.
It probably comes as no surprise that The Queen, Princess Anne and Zara Phillips, both former Olympians, will want to be at the Equestrian events. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both former sporty students will hopefully be found ball-watching at the football and hockey.
Prince Harry has joked about being keen to catch the Beach Volleyball at Earls Court, while Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will be river-side for the rowing and. The Queen's youngest son, the Earl of Wessex, will be sure to grab a glimpse of several events at the Paralympics, as he is an ambassador of the Games.
experts Thomas Cook, have now launched a royal range of breaks encompassing the Windsor's sporting passions. The breaks named The Queen, The Duke & Duchess, The Prince Harry & Charles, The Princess and The Earl suit a range of budgets at Olympic and Paralympic events the royal family are hoping to attend.

Demand for tickets has been incredibly high, but we still have a selection of our Games Breaks left for UK sports fanatics.
"As a proud supporter of the Games and of our British heritage, we've developed some diamond breaks to offer our customers a seat at the Games of a generation. As the only place on the High Street that UK residents can guarantee a ticket to the Games and, more importantly now, a hotel we aim to offer quality to the Queens' standard."
