Re: Queens Speech

Nope: Got better stuff to do at Christmas than being put to sleep by
a silly speech that means nothing , sorry

Re: Queens Speech

We usually have it on but I don't really sit down to watch it. I think I might this year, I'm interested as to see if she is going to mention Annus Horribilus again, it has after all been a pretty crap year for the Royal Family and gossip about them.

Re: Queens Speech

Well I guess we all know who we have to thank for that .

Re: Queens Speech

I do remember when we were children and sat down to Christmas lunch at 3pm, we would put the television on for the Queen's Speech. It was very popular back in the 50's and 60's to do so.

Times move on of course, and since the mystery surrounding the Royals is no more, people appear to have lost the magic of seeing her on our screens once a year at Christmas speaking directly to us, her people. I'm afraid the aura of the Royals being 'special' has long disappeared.

I personally have lost a lot of respect due to the younger Royals, and along with many other people, no longer watch the Queen's Speech, although I still admire and have great respect for her alone.
I do watch when it shows a repeat of it on the news later though.

I am more looking forward to watching the Christmas Day Special of Gavin & Stacey!

Re: Queens Speech

Oh, is the Queen still alive? I saw that there were rumours that she had died!
Yet another day in Fake News World!

Re: Queens Speech

I never see it....I always mean to watch but 3pm on Christmas day is always busy for me and I forget.
