    Just an observation; that Lady Sarah Armstrong Whasserface ain't half got a set of choppers on her

    Would have loved to have played for her - often imagine myself on the roof of Buck Palace in place of Brian May.

    Who knows, maybe I'll have a chance at the what whatever follows Diamond Jubilee

    She's a wonderful ambassador for Britain and long may she continue.

    Look at all them tourists that come in every year to stand outside Buckingham Palace in the pouring rain to watch the changing of the guard.

    Do you think that's going to continue when whatever ghastly presidential alternative our system would inevitably come up with is in residence?
    Probably not:

    Changing the Guard can sometimes be cancelled, especially in wet weather.

    I think most would vote to keep them. They bring in a lot of tourist revenue.

    I would like to see BuckPal turned into flats - Royal family can move to Windsor.

    Personally I think she has done an exemplary job during her reign & no complaints there - she will be a hard act to follow

    However once she passes we should have another referendum to see if we want to continue the monarchy or turn Buckingham Palace into a Travelodge

    I suspect if there were such photos, she'd be on to the IPSO in a flash to get them taken down.


    Has she ever been to Disneyland?

    You are a contractor who doesn't quite contribute to that tax payer's money pot.

    As Brillo says - What are you? Mr. Pot or Mr. Kettle?
