Inside Westminster Abbey: 'This was history - solemn, spectacular and intense' [BBC]

Hopefully together again and as happy as it is obvious they were...

Update 22:44 with obit: sorry I have no words; been welling up every time I think of it; I know it is eleven days since Her Majesty passed but I think His Grace does her justice: [LINK] "The curtain has fallen on the second Great Elizabethan Age."

Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina Fid Def 

From The Royalists UK [Twitter feed] "70 photographs for 70 years: As we approach Accession Day and the start of Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, we are publishing 70 photographs for 70 years of service. Thank you, Your Majesty." 

Queen's Jubilee Medal [Forces.net] "The Platinum Jubilee medal will be given out to members of the Armed Forces... ..."The medals will also be given out to frontline emergency service workers, prison service staff and members of the Royal Household."

Today Queen Elizabeth II marks the 70th anniversary of her reign; it is unique: no other British monarch has ever reached this milestone; she is the longest-reigning incumbent monarch and the longest-reigning female monarch in history.

Prorogation of parliament is entirely NORMAL!

"Prorogation... marks the end of a
parliamentary session. It is the formal name given to the period between the end of a session of Parliament and the State Opening of Parliament that begins the next session. The parliamentary session may also be prorogued before Parliament is dissolved."

[Added] Also, back in May 2019, well over a 100 days ago, "the current parliamentary session reached a striking landmark. It
became the longest session by sitting days since the English Civil War
(1642-51)" [House of Commons Library] !!



Obvious oblectation: 'She’s not "just a figurehead''. "Her Majesty The Queen is Britain’s final constitutional backstop... 



...Such authority is historically sound.

  

"A.V. Dicey wrote in 'The Law of the Constitution' (1885): "The House can in accordance with the constitution be deprived of power [when] there is fair reason to suppose that the opinion of the House is not the opinion of the electors."" 



"Edmund Burke noted: "The virtue, spirit, and essence of an House of Commons consists in its being the express image of the feelings of the nation. It was not instituted to be a controul upon the people, as of late it has been taught, by a doctrine of the most pernicious tendency. It was designed as a controul for the people."" [Raheem Kassam]



It stuns me how ignorant and thick many of the UK's MPs are. You can understand the waily, shrieky, undemocratic, pathetic, sinister Remain shouty tossers not understanding, but our duly elected officials you would think understood. Nope. Dumb fucks of ALL parties shouldn't be anywhere near power.



Ominous obloquy: Intersetingly, on Raheem's own website, I found out for the first time that the recent G7 summit agreed a "hate speech charter" as if the current draconian thought crimes aren't enough. Was this reported in the UK?

Is tricking Queen Elizabeth II into lying a case of Treason? Today in the Queen's Speech Her Majesty said

"My ministers will uphold the sovereignty of Parliament and the primacy of the House of Commons."

This is patently and obviously untrue. 



The Treason Act 1351 - amended several times down the centuries - currently provides for four categories of treasonable offences, one of which is "if a man do levy war against our lord the King in his realm, or be adherent to the King's enemies in his realm, giving to them aid and comfort in the realm, or elsewhere".



All British nationals owe allegiance to the Queen in right of the United Kingdom; David Cameron and others - in their blind and damaging adherence to the alien and anti-democratic European Union are most definitely adherent to the Queen's enemies.



More details of previous treason by UK governments kowtowing to the EU at The British Gazette  HERE plus a handy letter already worded to send to the Police (beware, they may be complicit in this treason); but the LIE quoted above is beyond the pale. They may not hang given that New Labour's Crime and Disorder Act 1998 formally abolished the death penalty for treason and piracy but they should be imprisoned.

Or Ochenta y ocho (88), eighty eighth...many happy returns Elizabeth II. Her Majesty the Queen celebrates her 88th birthday today, in commemoration of which this new portrait by David Bailey has been published (it was taken last month at Buckingham Palace and commissioned on behalf of the government's Great Britain campaign).



May I be so bold as to say that the "grinning granny" image suits Her Majesty, described by Bailey as a "very strong woman" with "very kind eyes with a mischievous glint". During the day the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired a 41 gun royal salute (Green Park*) and later a 62 gun salute from the Honourable Artillery Company at the Tower of London**. Eighty eight facts about Elizabeth II from Royal Central  HERE, e.g. The Queen is the only British Monarch to have visited China and proved she is and was always ahead of the game by sending her first email in 1976!



In case you wondered:

* The standard Royal salute is 21-guns; another 20 guns is added when the salute is from a Royal Park or Palace.

** The 62 gun salute is the aforementioned 41 guns (the Tower is a Royal Palace) plus 21 for it being from the City of London.

Well said John Redwood: "She is the UK’s greatest Ambassador"...and well said too to 'colliemum' for putting it so well (in the comments, same link):

"On this day not only we here in Great Britain are celebrating – millions of people in the Commonwealth countries across the globe are celebrating with us, as are people in other countries.

There can be no Monarch, no Head of State anywhere who is held in such esteem by so many people in so many different nations as our Queen Elizabeth II."
