Her Majesty has delivered her 65th Queen's Speech
Our Queen travelled to the Palace of Westminster in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach
Our Sovereign wore a beautiful red velvet cloak for her speech
The Household Cavalry escorted the Queen on her journey
The gorgeous heavily jewelled, purple crown, rarely seen was carried so carefully by the Marquis of Chholmondeley* on a beautiful velvet cushion this year
The cap of maintenance given by the Pope to our Queen & the Sword of State were displayed in the royal gallery
The Procession of State was full o the pop and pageantry we are renowned and admired for
After Her Majesty's speech she spoke to those who had taken part smiling and thanking them†
*Yep, that is how it's pronounced. Trust me, it looks fancy but he's called fucking Chumlee
†THIS IS ACTUALLY HOW THE "POEM" ENDS!! And I am sure as shit using scare quotes around the word poem there, despite the paper who published this assuring us it is one, this is more like a collection of statements ending in an unsatisfying way. Fuck me this is so crap it hurts.
