What a glorious day – what a glorious Empire! I spent the day at the side of the Royal Family, celebrating Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. For 60 years now she is reining this magnificent country – well, with a little help from my humble self. The Empire owes her not only its gratitude, but also its deepest respect. She possesses attitudes which I would prefer to find in many a politician: she is disciplined, principled and able to keep her feelings under control and never let her personal matters influence her power of judgement. Extraordinary and rare abilities – especially in the womanhood.
Therefore, even though I don’t believe in a higher power, (well apart from my own):
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
God save our gracious Queen,
ReplyDeleteLong live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and Glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!
I wasn't aware that you are such an ardent patriot, Ms Hooper. Splendid.
