What blew my mind is this fact, that Queen Elizabeth is now the only living head of state that put on the uniform during World War Two.

Wow, longevity! Prince Philip was in the War, too, but of course he’s not the head of state.

I wonder how old President Bush is doing. He was in the hospital yesterday.

I remember that she was accompanying her Mother the Queen, on some sort of inspection during the war, and the QueenMum’s shoes hurt, so Princess Elizabeth took her own shoes off and gave them to her Mother. Elizabeth continued on in her stocking feet.
