I guess Knighthood aint what it used to be. Now it seems that the British are relying upon brave and noble warriors like Mick Jagger and Elton John to protect the Queen and Realm. Oh by the way, am I correct in my perception that the image on my avatar coin exhibits improper British protocol? It was my understanding that a warrior depicted on a war horse with one leg up depicts a soldier that was wounded in battle, whereas two legs up stands for a soldier killed in battle. My avatar coin looks like the Queen to me. She may or may not have been subject to a nasty sunburn or a life-threatening paper-cut at one time or another.
How about undergoing German Bombing does that count as a possible danger to Her Majesty ? Having her Husband's Uncle blown up by Terrorists I would imagine would have caused her some deal of mental anguish as well. De Orc
