[MR] BBC: Queen's speech to Parliament

[Garth G. Groff]

Noble friends,

The BBC has offered a very interesting short video on the ceremony of 
the Queen addressing Parliament. Although some clips are brief, it is 
well worth viewing for the pomp. Great robes, Yeomen with pole axes, a 
magnificient throne, etc. Well worth viewing, even though most of the 
traditions post-date our period. Those Brits sure know how to do elegance.

Kind regards,


Lord Mungo Napier, Who Wishes He was in the House of Lords
