Funnily enough the bits I enjoyed the most were the bits where my initial reaction was 'oh no, this is going to be awful'.
Same reaction for Craig David who didn't disappoint. He was utterly . Can't win 'em all...

HNMTQ's sense of humour and sense of fun are well known. As a young woman, she accepted the position as President of the George Formby Appreciation Society - until The Palace stepped-in.
One of my favourite photos of is her winning a £50 Tesco voucher as owner of a winning horse. Tesco's, of course is where she buys her Christmas Puddings.
The Commonwealth (in particular HMTQ) has got to be one of the best soft-power organisations in the world.
With only 20 percent of young people supportive of the monarchy some downscaling is inevitable, with William probably making changes when his time comes than Charles would do. Jeez - could you imagine Tony Blair as President of the UK, swanning about in Buckingham Palaces and grinning inanely from State Coaches. Buckingham Palace was, of course, built for Lord Buckingham whose ancestor, George Villiers was the lover of King James I (VI). Theresa Villiers, MP and David Cameron are descendents of his, IIRC (not from the liaisons with James I, obviously )
An ex-colleague of mine has one of her stools in a glass jar of formaldehyde, presented to him during a visit to Britannia (in his role as a Squadron Leader) when it was still in use. The crew of Britannia noticed that the toilets discharged into the sea...

^^^^ I took that as an urban myth. My brother was a Matlow and he and a dozen others all had “a queens in a jar”
Elaborate prank, all take a dump in a jar and present it with some solemnity to nearest matelot.
Hmmmm, I'm catching up with Ent next month. I have an idea. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
When Princess Margaret opened a new block at an RAF base in the 70's the same chap pencilled numbers on the sheets of toilet paper in 'her' loo and ran a sweepstake on the number used.
