The Brits played our National Anthem at Windsor Castle; Changing of the Guards.
Once on 9/11/01 and again on 9/11/21, now that’s respect. Lowering our Flag for the Queen pays some of that respect back.

President Joe Biden issued a proclamation hours after the death of Queen Elizabeth II ordering all flags at U.S. federal and military facilities to fly at half staff as “as a mark of respect,” one of several symbolic gestures around the globe to honor the influential tenure of the 96-year-old sovereign.

Many states are also followed suit... NY State buildings officially did it on Sept 9. Iowa is keeping half staff until her burial. It's going to be a mishmash until after the 19th when she's being buried.

Everyone will be half staff tomorrow, as they should be...

 

[CELLFISH]

that’s the most brilliant thing our President has promoted… ??

The great-great-great-great granddaughter of the king who lost America acknowledged a further debt to Britain’s former colony beyond the wartime alliance. In 1973, the UK government was sounded out on the idea of Elizabeth II attending celebrations three years later to mark America’s bicentennial. One of the prime minister’s advisors wrote a snooty note to Buckingham Palace: “One would wish to consider whether it was right for the Queen to be associated with the celebration of a rebellion from the British Crown.” The Queen would go on to make the trip, though she arrived on July 6, because, as one Embassy official told the New York Times, “July 4th was really pushing it. Forgiveness can only go so far.”

In a speech marking the occasion, the Queen herself would be more gracious. “It seems to me that Independence Day should be celebrated as much in Britain as in America,” she said to a crowd in Philadelphia. “Not in rejoicing at the separation of the American colonies from the British Crown but in sincere gratitude to the Founding Fathers of this great Republic for having taught Britain a very valuable lesson… We learnt to respect the right of others to govern themselves in their own ways. Without that great act in the cause of liberty, performed in Independence Hall two hundred years ago, we could never have transformed an Empire into a Commonwealth.”

Gotta Admit, those British are really very patriotic bunch of chaps… they were defiant during the Blitz, part of the turning point in WWII… Hip, Hip, Hooray…

[CELLFISH]

maybe that’s some of the reasons why she was so humble …

[CELLFISH]

Gotta Admit: the formality is over the top…

good thing the Queen wasn’t Jewish, she would need to be buried in day one… cellie…
