Thanks for sharing that Paul. The outpouring of love and respect from around the world, for Queen Elizabeth, is impressive. :)

To honour Queen Elizabeth II, Union Jacks have been posted along Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. The avenue runs between the U.S. Capitol and the White House.

That's a great video. :thumbsup: One of my favorite stories about Queen Elizabeth, and her sense of humor, can be seen below.

She walked into a small village shop to pick up the cake. It was there she came across an elderly woman, who couldn't help but notice her uncanny resemblance to Queen Elizabeth, especially because she was wearing her trademark headscarf. "Good heavens, you look just like the Queen," the woman said to The Queen right before she entered the store. "How reassuring," the Queen responded before purchasing her cake.

Brian :lol:

That’s an interesting observation Simon. I saw the C17 climbing out of EGPH from where live about 4 miles away. I was also listening on my airband radio. As it was descending towards London there was over 400,000 people tracking it on FR24 :) EricT
