Queen Elizabeth II

[Paul-R]

...according to an interview with the script writer I heard this morning, the sketch was written without her having to speak, but when she saw the script her comment was "Don't you think I should have a line?" Needless to say a line was immediately added!!

Of course, the line should have said Commander Bond!

Note lack of numberplate.

Speaking of number plates: you might have noticed the MYT1 (geddit?) number plate on a Range Rover in the funeral procession yesterday. It was first applied to the Queen's Vauxhall Cresta, and the number is said to have been ordered by the Duke of Edinburgh as a joke

Also (according to Prince Edward) one of the dignitaries at the Opening Ceremony was convinced that The Queen had actually made that jump!

Heard boris eulogy off HM,he said some middle eastern high ranking official, whilst in a discussion,with him,said I can't believe at her age she actually jumped out off the helicopter

The Queens vehicles don't require a number plate. It's was her country and only us mere mortals need to be identified. Same way police cars don't need to be taxed but always showed a tax disc. It just goes to show how down to earth she was when doing these filming things.
