I reckon those corgis should look more excited. After all, ER11 is their official mascot and has raised the profile of their breed. Before ER11 nobody had even heard of corgis.

I am with the disaffected league of exported criminal descendants. She is sort of like the Taliban; unelected, large family network, no one seems to work, over exposed publicly, yet has never given an interview in 80 years; and when one goes, another takes her place.

The little sung sixth verse:

6. Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring
May he sedition hush
And like a torrent rush
Rebellious Scots to crush
God save the King

Corgis were bred low in order to get under the kilt. The one on the right in frame 4 has its nasty little fangs bared, which is why FD had to crop it out.
