Pretty thing, wasn't she, the young Princess Elizabeth, turning Queen of this vast but decaying realm? I recall those days, watching her motorcade and running towards the carriage until scooped up by one of the constabulary in those Z Car days when plod were respected by most.
Just wanted to have a chat with her, maybe a cuddle.
Nicer to recall those days of hope and glory than to dwell on these days of hell now under the Red Tories. The spirit was different, there was probably genuine love for her across the empire and it might even be fair to say that she did not ruin it herself ... it was the appalling progeny and grandprogeny, esp. Airmiles and the Hewitt lookalike who ruined the show.
As our Julia said, paraphrasing her a bit - well 70 years is 70 years and she is our monarch.
Yes. Still.
