Sir Tom.

Anniebach we all know Charles didn't treat Diana right and really wanted Camilla. He should never have married Diana.

annepl we know what the media and Diana told us, and many choose to believe Diana the victim, Charles the evil
husband and Camilla the wicked witch .

I don't think Sir Tom would have seen this as snubbing the queen. He and his family had other arrangements and HM had told him that her grand-daughter Beatrix had just got married so he may have thought that she would want to spend time with her family.

If he refused to repeat his conversation with the Queen how can this be true ?

I thought that too Anniebach.

I did cringe though when he said "The conversation was between the Queen and I."
ME for goodness sake!

He was being grammatically correct. What else would you expect?

Correct Ellianne. But I wouldn’t have cringed

Are you sure 25Avalon?

Bellanonna maybe I winced, then, though nothing detracts from his achievement.

‘The Queen and me’ is correct surely.

It is!

It's the queen and me. ..it's object after a preposition...between is a preposition.

Anniebach What a ridiculous comment. Nobody called Charles evil or Camilla a witch. Honestky! (sigh of exasperation.) .

Lovely to see our queen looking so well and obviously happy to be honouring a wonderful man, who seemed to appreciate it too.

Thank you grammarians. I thought I was right, not 25Avalon.

Also shouldn't this thread have been under Chat?

The thread police strikes again!

The Queen knighting Captain Tom was in the NEWS

Got it?

I winced at the poor grammar, too. I’d have thought someone his age would have been taught how to use ‘I’and ‘me’ correctly - but I have heard the Queen make exactly that mistake.

Well as long as she doesn't say, "Philip and me would like to thank you all ....." Grandma70s.

Most educated people say it wrongly now. It really annoys me.

I love the queen, she’s amazing. She has been badly let down by her sons one way and another over the years. Princess Anne on the other hand is a chip off the old block. She doesn’t seem to have a sense of entitlement but she has a sense of duty. Her brothers could learn a thing or two from the way she behaves.

It's under Coronavirus!!

It should be changed to News or Chat
Crazygran can you ask GNHQ to move it?

Sorry! Should've gone to Specsavers.

Sir Tom did his walk for the NHS. So corona virus is relevant.
Anyway, what the heck?

It's shut.
You're excused

I need new specs too.

Nannytrace. Anne had an affair with Tim Lawrence, a maid stole love letters and sold them to a newspaper, she like Charles divorced and remarried. Curious now, what has
Edward done ?

I consulted the oracle aka dh who is a stickler for grammar and he thought “the queen and myself” was best.
