Rembering World War One, where's the Queen?

Well! a Big Service at Westminster, Cameron will be there job lot but not the Queen, she has sent Sonny boy Charlie along instead, what an Insult to the all the Fallen, well after all I can see her point, it's not that Importantant these people only LOST their lives fighting for KING AND COUNTRY, my God people need to look at this Arrogant Royal Family, if it hadn't have been for the Brave who fought and lost their lives there wouldn't be a Royal Family. I can't stand em.

Remind me again how old the Queen is?

She is very old, perhaps she is too unwell to attend. Can you elucidate your claim that without the war dead there wouldn't be a Royal family please? You have just made that up, people who make things up to support a ridiculous view just look stupid.

Probably doesn't want to be reminded that it was thier kind that cost Europe and the world millions of its citizens.

Her majesty and the rest of the family will all play their part. For all their royal status they are a family who are well aware of war and sacrifice.

If she too old she should retire, and do think if the Germans had won there would still let the royals rule, NO! and you would now be speaking and writing in German.

Thank you for your well thought out and thoroughly researched rant. Is there any other subject you feel the need to make yourself look a fool in?

I presume we ARE talking WW! here? If we had lost the war in France they would still have had to invade the UK in order to remove the royal family.

We can all speculate what would have happened had we lost WW1. There would of course been no WW2 for a start. Would you like to consult your crystal ball to inform us what else would have changed?

But on the plus side we would never have had the Second World War.

Swings and roundabouts

If she too old she should retire

The Queen is doing her bit for the remembrance as is most of her family.

I'm taking a party of Scouts to a remembrance event until 11pm tonight. I'm sure that many others on here are also planning something meaningful.

So the question is, what are you doing - apart from having an ill informed frothy at the mouth political rant?
