Embarrassing gaffes in the palace

True, so the queen is not alone in moving forward is she

Or if the many families of those murdered by the terrorist paramilitary organisations like the various IRA or UDF in Northern Ireland.

Thinking about it, no different to many in Ireland who welcomed her and forgave her for pinning medals on many who killed innocent Irish citizens , her grief was no more painful than the families of those gunned down on Bloody Sunday , many lost sons , brothers, fathers,

I had forgotten Mountbatten , thank you Elegran. I am pleased she went to Ireland though.

GrandTea, I have the same respect for the queen as I do for any ninety year old, yes she has done her duty and lived a very privileged life , that's it for me .

I always used to kid my elder GS that I was the queen. For years he believed me. Bless.

JessM, I can express my opinion anywhere I like, and yes my children are respectful.

Could she mean the blowing up of the Mountbatten yacht?

Oops, fine it again, sorry Jalima . No idea what you are referring to though , the Russians?

Just caught up yes yes yes - clever lot!

When did queenie entertain someone who murdered a relative ? no anniebach, that's not what I said (or am I losing the plot, has been known) have a re-read of my post

I loved Joyce Grenfell, especially the nursery school one, my BF was a nursery school teacher and if I hear it I do think of her.

All together now......

merlot beat me to it!

Joyce Grenfell?
Stately as a galleon?

Oh yes! Stately as a galleon, she glides across the floor. Doing the - something - two step - as in the days of yore. Can't remember any more.

Joyce Grenfell.....'Stately As A Galleon?'

It reminds me so much of the song that lovely lady used to sing ( she's dead now) - something about gently as she glides along the floor. I wish I could remember both her and the song. This post is a bit useless really?

Perhaps a slight resemblance.

There's no need to call her QE2 though!!!

I think the answer is GandTea sorry, no, you can try this line in your place if you want (or in a meeting of your local council or other formal environment) but deference to royalty is not one of the forum rules/guidelines. Do you have grandkids and do they toe the line when talking about 'er maj?
