The Queen and the Royal family have always held the unwavering attention of Americans unused to the pomp and ceremony of the centuries-old institution.
And Her Majesty cemented her place in the hearts of a grieving United States by famously ordering the Star Spangled Banner be played outside Buckingham Palace just two days after 9/11 in a touching tribute to America.
...
Ten days after the attacks, the Queen released an emotional messaged to New Yorkers, saying: 'You come together today in St Thomas church in New York united in sorrow by the terrible events of last week.
'Each and every one of us has been shocked and numbed by what we have witnessed in these recent days. But none of us should doubt the resilience and determination of this great and much loved city and its people.

QE was an outstanding leader for her people and a compassionate and dignified friend to all others.
WEll, it is the same song only played faster than the Brits, so there’s that.
I remember this very, very well. People were flying small American flags and lots of tears.
She presided over the disintegration of her nation without lifting a finger to stop it. Stop with all the bullshit propaganda.
Ironically, the Star Spangled Banner anthem commemorates an attack on the United States by another hostile power 187 years before 9-11. That power was Great Britain. No doubt Queen Elizabeth II knew the irony of playing the American national anthem at Buckingham Palace.
The last monarch that bucked Parliament got his head chopped off.
George Clinton?
She was an empress, guarding the growth of other kings and nations, and as such she actually did more of the mere job of Queen she was paid for.
Did your folks ever teach you that if you don’t have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut? Or this one, which seems to apply to you: better to keep your mouth shut and thought of as a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
You’re thinking of America/My Country ‘Ris of Thee, which has the same tune as God save the Queen. The Star Spangled Banner is a completely different song.
Another good moment- the Memorial Service at St Pauls’ on 9/14/2001
Skip to 16m 25s or the National Anthem- taken back by how many Brits know the words.

What would you have wanted her to do?
She put the CLASS in class act.
“She presided over the disintegration of her nation without lifting a finger to stop it. Stop with all the bullshit propaganda.”
Not much she could have done. The left worked its magic on that great nation as it is working on hours. We can only hope that we take it to the left and make them suffer.
Suffer greatly.
Extremely greatly.
Weeping and knashing of teeth. And bones.
And hear the lamentations of their he/she/it/whatevers.
If you've read anything on Charles I, there was no way he was going to roll over for the January 6th committee that tried him, and condemned him to death. He firmly believed, as had British monarchs that had gone before him, that they had a divine right to rule, given to them by God. He died believing that.
The UK was finished when the Tories went with Teddy Heath over Enoch Powell.
All correct.
Watched a few videos on Charles I on YouTube after the Queen passed. Because of Prince Charles.
Stay away from Name That Tune, you’re no good at it.
