TEA from Fortnum and Mason, a can of Heinz baked beans, and some home-made scones – could it be more English, more celebratory?
Of course not, which is why Alexander Kumar, an Oxford doctor currently doing scientific research in Antarctica, deserves a wave from the Queen.
Hosting a Jubilee tea party in temperatures of -70C shows not only true British grit, but true British eccentricity too.
What a fine example Dr Kumar sets as the only British person for 1,000km in all directions.
