Just corrected the header slightly - she wasn't just Queen Mum for England you know, in the same way as her daughter is Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, not just England.

Plus Northern Ireland and the Commonwealth

LOL;)

You should see the flamewars across the Irish/Norn groups on this topic :(

On another note, isn't she 'merely' the head of the Commonwealth, as our own West Brits tell us here, Jon? ;)

Jon Hall
Yup, technically 'Head of State' of the nations of the Commonwealth.

But how does that work with the various Republics, and the one non-Empire member (the Cameroon?)

cheers, D.
