HM Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee

"Every inch a Queen, every foot a ruler", as Shakespeare didn't quite put it, sadly doesn't travel well into the metric age. Anyway, congratulations to our monarch, only the second to make it to a Diamond Jubilee. The Royal Standard is flying over all the extended weekend to mark the celebrations. On Sunday it was joined by the three lions of England and on Monday by a red ensign RNLI pennant. AW
