I enjoy the pomp, pageantry, history and respect. It is lovely and heartwarming.

I love how they stand still with complete respect for an old lady because she is not just an old lady she is their Queen and a symbol of the country they love.

It’s amusing that the pony mascot seemed to bow his head to the Queen.
