Nothing impresses the Queen...not even the biggest event of the year!
I have seen this before...
Ohhh my nails.....
Sheriff Roland:
I'm not a Monarquist (by any stretch) but, she IS 86 years old. Gotta give her credit to even show up at various events.
I too noticed that she looked bored during the opening ceremonies.
Kelda:
I thought Danny Boyle did a fab job,,, and even though I'm no Royalist all credit to old Lizzie for her apperance in the bond sequence. But Callum did come out with a cracker after the deaf kids sang god save the queen... "she canny even crack a smile the old bint"...

I heard on TV this morning that she went right off to Balmoral as soon as the ceremonies were over. This was pointed out in the context of film of Will, Kate, and Harry watching Cousin Zara compete in an equestrian event.
