the opening of the British Parliament will be covered live. Queen Elizabeth will be there with all the pomp and pageantry you'd expect.
I'm a sucker for ceremony - it should be fun.

It's just fascinating to watch. An event that has basically lasted for centuries.

but I just set the Tivo to record it.
I've grown fond of the old girl. She has a helluva job.

7. It's really impressive. |
|
Sure puts the President's State of the Union address to shame. I think that's the only comparable thing we have to the Queen's Address to Parliment.
I like Her Majesty, also. She has done a superior job as Queen of England.

5. I attended that three years ago. |

It was spectacular!
My little boy (who was 4 years old at the time) was in awe. :)

6. wow, that must've been something to see! |
|
What was it like? Were you part of a big crowd outside? Does Elizabeth ride up in a big carriage? A Jaguar?
I'd love to hear about it.
