Subject: What would you get the Queen for a present?

Ancient Ultramarine Venerable Dreadnought

Diamond Jubilee week for a fantastic old lady this week.
Yes chaps, 60 glorious years!
Anyway, I want to get the Queen a present, but I'm not a sentimental man and I'm all out of ideas, I was going to go for a gift voucher for Marks and Spencer, but perhaps the denizens of dakka have a better idea.
So, what do you suggest for a wealthy old woman?
Remember her hobbies include horse racing, walking the Corgi's, big hats and waving.
Oh and If you want to come in here and make disparaging remarks don't bother or I shall be forced to send you anthrax spores in the email. Go over to Republic and talk gak about a very nice old lady with all of your other dirty communist friends.

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels. |

Does the Queen play IG? In that case, she might be interested in the new finely-detailed LoTR Citadel Miniatures. Or Dreadfleet.

Something hand made and useful. I have no real idea what but there's no point in buying her anything from a store. She's the damn Queen, she's either already got what you're getting her (probably much nicer too) or could just get it herself. No, something hand made. Maybe a set of doilies or a nice warm blanket. You can never have too many nice warm blankets, especially at her age.

Depends, what would I buy for the Queen, or what should you buy for the Queen?
I would get her a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Assuming you have more tact, I would get her something nicer, like maybe a sweater for her Corgi.
Another option is to give her an iPod with your speeches pre-loaded on it.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
