Sarko wants to have Obama all to himself that day and doesn't want to be irritated by inconvenient Brits and Canucks.

France is known for snubbing its friends and killing their hero’s ...

This is a disgrace to every British veteran, The Queen happens to be a veteran.
Shame on France, again.

The failure to invite the Queen ... will be seen as an insult It's not "seen" as an insult; it is an insult.
Someone should inquire of Mssr. Sarkozy if the words "Gold", "Juno" and "Sword", taken all together, mean anything to him.

As Her Majesty is also a war veteran herself, this must be galling.

The British Government failed to arrange an invitation. What else do you expect from the gaffe-prone, post-Blair Labourites?

Maybe he really is the antichrist after all. This is amazing. I pray to be out of here soon.

I seem to recall reading that there were all of about 600 of the Free French Army in London during the war; kind of dwarfed by the tens of thousands of Brits who crossed the Channel on June 6, 1944, isn’t it?

So what if there are no Brits there. There won’t be any Americans there, either.

The Queen happens to be a veteran.Indeed she is. The father of my best friend in high school met then Princess Elizabeth as she serviced an Army vehicle that he crewed.

It certainly is. And for the Britain and Canada it was the second time across the channel, with the disastrous raid on Dieppe on 19 August 1942.
At Dieppe the Allies learned many of the lessons necessary for D-Day to be successful, but only after incurring a cost of 3,623 killed, captured or wounded.
No shortage of British and Canadian blood shed on Sarkozy’s country. It’s shameful that he has snubbed our Queen in this manner.

focused on the 'main event' of hosting U.S. President Barack Obama.GAG. A scam artist interloper is the "main event." A scam artist interloper who has already shown disrespect on multiple occasions towards the UK in his 130 or so days of wonder.
