Amazing isn't it. No one said which Queen, but we all know who they mean.

Until a few years ago my attitude to the Monarchy was that it was an anachronism but, if we had to have a Monarch, then Elizabeth Windsor was doing a fine job.

Over the last few years my attitude has changed, it's okay to whinge on about unelected heads of state and out dated National Anthems, but what do you replace them with? The system works in the UK and the Commonwealth. It ain't broke, why fix it?

Here's the best bit, with an hereditary, and virtually powerless, Monarchy there is no need for presidential elections.

God Save The Queen
