My Father fought in Korea with the Leicestershire regiment. I served from 1971-1976. My family have done their bit which entitles me to say what I fucking well want.

Unlike the Queen I've never been forced to pay my taxes.

If you consider a bunch of tax dodging, adulterous, workshy bunch of leeches worthy of you admiration so be it.

Some of us grew up.

You consider yourself grown-up do you?

I thought we were talking about HM the Queen, not the House of Commons?

On the contrary, apparently you all get a small refund, because of the queen.

Anyway, God Bless Her! Even we Americans have a soft spot for her.

Took my oath of allegiance to the Queen some 36 years ago and still feel bound by it.

It should be evident to anyone with a working brain cell that it is far better to be a subject of any constitutional monarchy than the great majority of the republics on this planet.

Very true, it is one of the virtues of the country we live in, ably underpinned by the Monarchy. Are you joining the protesters, or are you just going to continue poking the nest anonymously on the internet?
Still taking the Queen's shilling, hypocrite?

The Queen has added grace, dignity and majesty to UK.

She is the saving grace.

Evidence, got any? The Queen drove ambulances in WWII, so did her sister, her husband was a sailor with gallantry medals, one of her sons flew a helicopter in the Falklands conflict. a grandson went to Afghanistan and another is a S&R pilot. How is that not serving the country?

God* bless her.

*Who I do not believe in.

I love the Queen!
