The first time I broke into tears was waking early and seeing the service at St. Paul's. When they started singing "The Star Spangled Banner," and the QUEEN was singing it, I totally lost it.

God bless our British friends, and God save the Queen!

Me too. And when you consider the words to the song..."and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof to the night, that our flag was still there"....to have her sing those words (and I didn't see her reading any cheat sheets either!) was a sight to behold.

I sank into tears when I saw the Queen's eyes filling up on the TV this moved me greatly and I could not keep it in. The last time something like this happened was when Princess Di was killed, as a Brit seeing the Queen singing the star spangled banner was fantastic, but move to tears is something else. Also seeing old Bill Clinton thanking greatly the BBC and us for our support was a nice touch.
