| The Queen is highly amused at the Braemar Games. |
Your Head Trucker asks his truckbuddies for their indulgence this long weekend as he provides some Jubilee coverage of things he finds interesting and enlightening about a lady all the world recognizes but very few really know. The Queen is one of the very few public figures left in this world that your Head Trucker admires unreservedly; and that not without some study of her character, more than merely glancing at an occasional headline.
Tonight, the Prince of Wales will appear on a BBC program to share some home movies of his parents and family, of which this short clip gives us some charming examples:
Prince William and Prince Andrew also will have some things to share about their lives behind palace walls, in an ITV special tonight:
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, gives yet a different perspective on the lady who is also his boss as Head of the Church of England:
Question: One of you music queens out there must know the answer - what is that lovely chorale that begins about the 1:50 mark?

I've been asked, discreetly of course, what you would consider suitable as a Coat of Arms? Perhaps you could submit some ideas for "our" perusal?
Russ, best I can suggest for the chorale is it's possibly a piece by Sir John Kenneth Taverner, it has his "sound".
Charming, Russ. Thank you. The Queen is quite a lady, and she's aged gracefully.
Tim - I've sent you, equally discreetly, my ideas via email. Thanks for the tip on Taverner, I'll see what I can find on him.
Mimi - You're quite welcome. Yes, she has aged beautifully and lived remarkably. We can't all do as well, but we can all admire the accomplishment.
Taverner's music is wonderful.
