The terror attacks on September 11, 2001, shook the free world. Americans at home, abroad and our allies mourned the tragic loss of life that day. For American expats in the United Kingdom, London became the focal point of their grief.
On September 12, Queen Elizabeth II made a request that broke a 600-year-old royal tradition. For centuries, the Bands of the Household Division played music during the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and all the other Royal Palaces and Castles. The music played during the ceremony has always been a mix of traditional British songs and popular music of the day. However, foreign national anthems are played for state visits in honor of foreign dignitaries. In an unprecedented show of solidarity, the Queen requested the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
...
The next day, a memorial service for 9/11 victims was held at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, again at the request of the Queen. Over 2,600 people filled the cathedral including the Queen, the Prince of Wales, Prime Minister Tony Blair, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Ambassador Farish. At the opening of the service, “The Star-Spangled Banner” was played with the Queen singing along. In addition to the American national anthem, “Battle Hymn of the Republic” was also sung toward the end of the service.
The incredible show of support by the British people in the wake of 9/11 carried into the War on Terror. To this day, British troops stand steadfast alongside Americans to combat those who would do harm to either country or their allies.

The Queen can only act to stop a government that is acting unconstitutionally.
Unfortunately most of what British governments have done to damage the UK is perfectly constitutional.
I think if you look at all the royals we’ve been exposed to for the last 60+ years, I think she’s the best of them all. Perhaps there’s some providential design for her being in power for so long.
Unless she is a totally changed person that’s duped everyone for multiple decades, from the person she was during the war, and how she seemed to act and feel then, I think she’s their best. And in terms of racing there’s no other royal near her for several furlongs.
“Battle Hymn of the Republic” was also sung toward the end of the service.
God save the Queen! She faithfully performs her royal duties all these many, many years.
She is one strong lady. When her time comes, may God grant her eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Splice the main brace.
I truly don’t give a tinker’s damn about royalty but Elizabeth and her grandson William seem to have kept their sh+t together the best out of all that bunch.
Every Christmas Day, she delivers a message to her subjects in the UK and Commonwealth. I admit that I rarely tune in, but according to this article in The Guardian, in her 2014 address, she stated that her personal faith in Jesus was “the anchor in my life”.
In her 2016 Christmas Address, she stated, “Billions of people now follow Christ’s teaching and find in him the guiding light for their lives. I am one of them because Christ’s example helps me see the value of doing small things with great love, whoever does them and whatever they themselves believe.”
HM Queen Elizabeth II is a blessing to the UK and Commonwealth. After she 'goes home', I don't see the Monarchy lasting long under the quite secular Prince Charles. I have hopes that Charles merely abdicates and passes it on to Prince William.
A classy broad
Be more concerned about our lurch
And unfortunately our current Boxo in Chief not only ignores the constitution he also ignores SCOTUS rulings he doesn’t like
God love her

Wish that were trie for Bidens White Hut. According to the Biden critical theory, illucidated in Mark Levin’s book, “American Marxism,” Britain, and all of our NATO allies fighting allong side of us in Afghanistan are White Supremacist colonial powers than have exploited white, yellow and brown people thrpooughout their history. That is why Biden pulled out of Afghanistan without so much as a phone call to any of them...no warning at all.According to biden, Harris and assholes like Cory Booker, these colonial white supremacist powers need their come-uppance.And the Afghanistan exit delivered that in spades, As a result Biden was censored by the House of Commons and the house of Lords , and in truth Joe Biden is “persona non grata” in England. It may be that he will be barred from even travelling to the UK, a fact ignored by the MSM propaganda machine.
So if you think for a minute that all is rosey between the UK and the USA right now, you have a turd for a brain.
Things are very bad and at a low point, all the rest is the grand poseur of Obama, Clinton, Biden, aswell as the used fool RINO, George W. Bush, on TV, without PDJT, cryin crocadile tears at Ground Zero in NYC yesterday on 9/11...all designed to obfuscate the TRUTH. Our NATO alliews detest Joe Biden and his administration whichi is merely a fromt for Obama and the GRAND APOLOGY for AMericas role in the world for theis last two centuries, a MARXIST lie, designed to destroy America and the COnstitution.
And this thread article is talking about genuine support of the Queen for the American People. She certainly has little use for either Obama or Biden. Neither do the British People themselves.
‘TOTB are playing with fire. They think they hold all the cards, they don’t.’
unfortunately, I believe they do; because, simply, we willingly gave them the entire deck...
No we didn’t. We loaned it to them. We are 300+ million strong, we have 400 million guns. We know the rivers, the forests, the mountains. We grow the food, we deliver it. We build the planes and the ships. We build and maintain “their” arsenal. They have rarely been outside the cities. It’s not even close.
Yes, I knew she gave her Christmas message every year and speaks of her faith in Jesus. I’ve listened to several of them, always a blessing to hear a “world leader” talk of Jesus.
I just was sending my own prayer up for her in my previous post, that’s all.
