You almost get the feeling that the UK is reverting back to the Monarchy as far as International impact is concerned - they also have far more respect than the government & politicians have.

Frankly, I'm delighted.

I do feel that it's a new era in some ways. The Queen going to Ireland, we leave Iraq, the Royal wedding seemed to lift everyone.

The boy done well.

After a long long time the royals have got a good PR guy in - at the right time too.

I'm trying to find the site that quotes the possible remarks made by Philip the last time B O'B turned up at the Palace.

It started with "Park the car around the back..............."

The Queen and Prince Philip are incredible hosts and ambassadors for this country.

I just fear about the next generation down frown

Hope the Queen lives for another decade or 2 smile

Just watching Obama answer questions with Cameron.

Obama is not very good.

Having an off day? He always seems quite sharp to me (same as CMD).

His long pauses and long answers that are a bit disjointed are pretty amateur mistakes.

Normally excellent when he is given questions and has notes.

He's probably pausing to listen to the American translation in his earpiece before answering... wink

Understandably not being able to hear the Yank journalists after experiencing the fine English accent will have been a struggle for him during the questions.

They switch around. Cameron referred to him as Barack, The President and President Obama.

Obama also switched between Dave--id, Prime Minister Cameron and The Prime Minister.
