As an American I haven't really shown much interest in English royalty. I do find the queen interesting though.
I didn't see her entire speech but what I saw was impressive. She conducted herself with quiet dignity and a calm manner. You have a tendency to forget that she had survived the German blitz. And here she was speaking to the English public as a strong leader and telling them how they would survive and make England proud!
All I can say is God bless the Queen
