Have there ever been any gaffe's regarding knighting somebody? Like accidentally nicking them with the sword or something??

OMGosh! Love, Love, LOVE the coat!!!

OMGosh! Love, Love, LOVE the coat!!!

Once again, this is not a new outfit. I can trace it back as far as Canada, 2005 with about 3 or 4 wearings in total. Still looks just as smart, & fresh however

Yup that is not a new outfit. The Queen wore the same attire at The Sovereign's Parade at Sandhurst Military Academy on 12-04-2006 for Prince Harry's passing out ceremony. Here is the link > Royal Insight > Out and About > The Sovereign's Parade at Sandhurst, 12 April 2006

Well since you're there in the UK, please let HM know that if she ever tires of that lovely coat, I'd be MORE than happy to take it off her hands!

OK, but you follow me in the queue!!

Darn it Russo! I wanted that coat. It is beautiful.

PETA is calling on Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to stop using bear pelts to make headpieces for the five guards regiments and to have the hats fashioned from luxurious faux fur instead.

Help Us Convince Her Majesty the Queen to Shed Her Guards' Unbearable Headgear

 

[BeatrixFan]

The words 'luxurious' and 'faux fur' do not belong in the same sentence. "Cheap" and "Nasty" however are perfect bedfellows.

Oh, the skins from the bears are not cheap, but they are nasty!

The anti-bearskin people have been around for a while. I know they ran around after her in Canada in a bear costume (It was a friendly bear, though. It gave hugs to little children.)

They whine a lot, but they haven't come up with an artificial fur that's anywhere near as resilient.

We'd have to come to fisticuff with Gill first. But, then again, I'm 5'6" so I think I'm out!

Well of course they're getting headlines, all those in that lumped up group are attractive, pretty things. You wouldn't see the same headlines if they had a bunch of fat, ugly naked people protesting!
