Queen Elizabeth 11
Watching the whole footage of the Queen - from the announcement of her passing to her final laying to rest - I cannot express the sheer respect I have of the British public and the dignity that was shown throughout the time - Well done and a hearty 3 cheers !

Re: Queen Elizabeth 11
One thing it showed for sure, the 'Poms' certainly know how to do it.
Doubt any other nation could do such a wonderful job.
The skills and training of the British soldiers certainly showed through.
Well done lads, all of you with special thanks to the eight who had to carry the coffin..


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Queen Elizabeth 11
Indeed so John
And just a very far away sort of Marching on Parade in the Passing out in the RAF , was something i will not forget, the precision of all the Groups were great!
Nowhere as good as the Guys who Marched at the Procession of the Queens Funeral mind, but still gave me pride to be part of such a Bunch of good Fellows!
The Brits sure do know how to do things in Style !
