God bless you our British cousins.

And thanks, birdman, for helping us remember who our friends were.

They can be incredibly classy.

Especially when you remember what the song is about. 

That was just plain cool.

The song took on a whole new meaning on 9/11.  I think the Queen realized that.  God bless her.
