The sign is disgusting! Very disrepectful, and very poor taste!
Isn't it illegal to use the likeness of a member of the Royal Family in advertising? Couldn't this sign be considered advertising?
As pubs have used caricatures of monarchs for centuries to advertise their pubs the answer would have to be a 'no' as the precedent is very strong that this sort of thing is legal.
The following message was sent by The Queen to New Zealand Prime Minister John Key:
I have been utterly shocked by the news of another earthquake in
Christchurch. Please convey my deep sympathy to the families and
friends of those who have been killed; my thoughts are with all those who
have been affected by this dreadful event. My thoughts are also with the
emergency services and everyone who is assisting in the rescue efforts.

Joye, at the presentations of the Ambassadors, High Commissioners etc in posts 345, 351 and 370 HM has her trusty handbag on her arm.
From the beginning of this thread see also posts 31, 33 and 39 (page 2) - HM is handbagged.
I think it is great - something that has been done for centuries with regard to monarchs but these days it seems that no one can see the humour anymore.
I heard a most welcome rumour last night - that immediately after attending CHOGM in Perth, Western Australia, Her Majesty is considering attending the 2011 Melbourne Cup. How exciting!
The palace has annouced the Queen is going to Ireland
I wonder what she'll do now for exercise?
