London is counting down to celebrating Queen Elizabeth’s platinum jubilee. Queen Elizabeth has served the duty stoically for 70 consecutive years, and carries 96 years of living history in the United Kingdom and has helped shape it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the festive four days, dozens of activities have been organized in the city. For the first time the queen will not commit to her presence. Her appearance will be decided on the same day for each appearance. At the end of the festivities, 70 aircraft will pass over the famous balcony where only working family members will be. And two important members of them are women, Princess Anne and the Duchess of Cambridge. The first one manages to do it with the straightforwardness of her character – when Sherry Blair asked her to leave the formalities, she replied: “Let’s not take this path, let’s continue with” Mrs. Blair “, what do you say?” – and the second with its her solid middle-class origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the shocking proof that devotion does not require blood ties, nor does it necessarily require many qualifications. The essential thing is one: resilience, built on the meaning given to it by the goal of coping daily with boring obligations. All we can do is pay homage to Queen Elizabeth, who has served stoically for 70 consecutive years, who has carried the living history of the United Kingdom for 96 years and has helped shape it. The only danger to the British monarchy is that it becomes “redundant”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apathy is its worst enemy. Its function is symbolic, unifying and balancing. The institution works if the people continue to believe in the symbolism of the institution. God save the Queen until, unfortunately, the mournful code “London Bridge down” is read and then the prime minister will automatically send the message to the Foreign Minister, who in turn to the leaders of the 14 states she heads, and to 36 other Commonwealth countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
