I just finished watching the Queen in 3D with my sister, and by with, I mean over the phone. This suits both of us as we can watch and reminise, and then go get the dishes done! We totally enjoyed the 1 hour special. And yes V, the queen was beautiful when she was young. It brought back memories of the little hats etc that our Mom wore when she was young as we watched the Queen grow from
a young princess into the monarch she is today. I know some people don't want anything to do with the monarchy, and I don't know if it was the era we grew up in, but I always felt the pride of Queen and Country as we were growing up. It's not like our parents went around proclaiming their patriotism, but it was obviously always there, and we felt it. I think so many people are cynics these days that they won't support anything that doesn't put a dollar in their pocket. Gone are the days of standing proud with the rest of my classmates singing God Save the Queen and pledging my loyalty to the Union Jack. Opening exercises it was called..and it grounded us. I'm proud to be Canadian, and I hope my two little great nephews (new little Canadians) will be too...along with everyone else in my family.
