According to this article on the BBC web site, the Diamond Jubilee has gone down well with the French.
So why is this? Could it be that she’s probably the only English-speaking leader, who speaks reasonable French in public?

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.

The French have a strange view of authority. I was once told by a Frenchman, that in most countries like say Great Britain, The Netherlands or Sweden, your brother joined the Police, you wouldn’t be too bothered, but in France, if he did, you’d likely never talk to him again. He said it’d all to do with Napoleon and how the Policespied on everybody. I don’t know, as I’m not French.
