Her Majesty is enjoying the (horse) races today at Epsom. Tomorrow, the great river pageant, with a thousand vessels taking part, will be staged on the River Thames. On Monday, a concert is taking place right outside the gates of Buckingham Palace. Then, there's the traditional coach procession to look forward to, as well. Communities all over the land are to enjoy street parties and events. We have a "Party In The Park" here, on Monday, culminating in the lighting of a beacon at 10:15pm (by which time I hope it will have stopped raining!). We're putting our Union Flag out today - lots of them and red, white and blue bunting were seen yesterday! For those who wonder why we are doing this, here's a short history lesson with some rare footage. "Vivat Regina Elizabetha !" baldie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can positivly say that he will not be on any Canadian money (not becasue he is ugly as shit) but that we just don't want him there, to be honest I would rather William to be king next and not Charles, as it stands now, most Canadians won't mind having a head of state if it is William, but if Charles becomes king well you may see some changes in Canada. Now thats out of the way, as my great aunt would say in her English accent and my gradmother in her Irish accent "God Save the Queen" Edited June 2, 2012 by 3rdCdnInfty coolmd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way the monarchy and the line of succession works. It isn't a smorgasbord one can pick and choose from but a seamless line stretching back centuries. Anyway, it isn't greatly appropriate to be talking about who is next when the royal incumbent is celebrating an occasion unlikely to be seen again in the next few centuries. Long May She Reign!

Such ignorance and lack of respect is not modern misbehaviour. The national anthem used to be played before all cinema screenings, and, even in the 1970s, I and my friend were the only two people to stand firmly to attention during it. We are not expected to place a hand on our heart so the very least one can do is to get off ones a*se!

If you don't understand constitutional monarchy as a system of government, you will find plenty of books to educate you in the library. I would prefer this thread not to be hijacked into some theoretical and futile debate as to whether the kingdom should become a people's republic with a rich man, backed by business and special interest groups, at its head. The UK is a monarchy and so it shall remain. The republicans here are not having a good time - seems they are really in a minority and they don't like that! The big party is under way, the boats are getting into position and I am so excited about today's pageant on the River Thames (and I am not even in London!)!
