	Scotty Moore - UK Queen Elizabeth Hall
		After an exhausting tour zig-zagging across the country to play at intimate venues, tonight’s show at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall is an unusually formal affair.
		Yet even though the audience doesn’t leap to its feet and sing lustily along as it did at previous dates, the warmth and reverence in the auditorium from the diverse crowd, eagerly assembled on this bitterly cold night, is palpable.
		The Grundy-Pritchard band, who have been playing with Scotty on all the UK dates, play a set of rock ’n’ roll favorites to get the punters warmed up, and prove to be adept at whatever they turn their hand to.

	RMS Queen Elizabeth 2
		The Queen Elizabeth 2, often called "the QE2," was the flagship of the Cunard Line from 1969 until she was succeeded by RMS Queen Mary 2 in 2004.
		The QE2 is considered the last of the great transatlantic ocean liners (prior to the Queen Mary 2) and was the last oil-fired passenger steamship to cross the Atlantic in regularly scheduled liner service before she was refitted with a diesel power plant.
		The "2" in the name distinguishes her from the first ship of the name, the RMS Queen Elizabeth, which was named for Queen Elizabeth, the wife of King George VI of the United Kingdom, who was Queen Consort when that ship was built.

	The Reign of Queen Elizabeth (1558-1603) @ ELCore.Net
		The coronation of the queen was fixed for the 25th January (1559), and as her title to the throne might be questioned on so many points, it was obviously of the greatest importance that the ceremony should be carried out in the orthodox fashion so as to elude all the objections of her rivals.
		Elizabeth was still without a husband, and for reasons probably best known to herself she refused to allow her Parliament to drive her into marriage, although partly through vanity, partly through motives of policy she was not unwilling to dally with the advances of several suitors both native and foreign.
		Elizabeth was determined, however, to show her faithful Commons that she and not the Parliament was the supreme governor of the Church.

	Queen Elizabeth I: Biography, Portraits, Primary Sources
		Elizabeth well understood the importance of public relations and knew her entry into London must be a lavish spectacle; the coronation which would follow must be even more impressive.
		Elizabeth's replies to each presentation were memorable and kind; to the Recorder of London, she memorably said, 'Whereas your request is that I should continue your good lady and Queen, be ye assured that I will be as good unto you as ever Queen was to her people.
		The new queen was not one to whole-heartedly plunge into any scheme, personal or political; thus, she refused to become involved in foreign entanglements which would have bankrupted her country and produced strife and discontent.

	Queen Elizabeth I
		Elizabeth succeeded to the throne on her half-sister's death possibly from cancer in November 1558.

	Chronology Related to Francis Bacon's Life
		One of Elizabeth's first acts after her Accession, is to appoint Robert Dudley Master of the Horse, an honourable and valuable post which gave him a Lodging at the Court and personal attendance on the Queen.
		When the Queen heard of the marriage, a year later "she was for putting him in the Tower." Eventually he was ordered to remain a prisoner at Greenwich Castle, and his wife was forbidden to attend Court.
		The jealousy of the Queen was fomented by his enemies at the Court owing to his masterful conduct of the campaign, and his free appointments to knighthood in the field.

		If the prospect of six Haydn string quartets in one evening might on paper seem overkill, the reality was very different.
		The second movement Scherzo was typical of the Emerson's refusal to treat Haydn with kid gloves: more a robust, open-air thigh slapping Austrian dance than music for the concert hall.
		The slow movements of both quartets were models of their kind, the first violin's ornamentation in Op.

		The Grand Lounge doesn't seem so grand anymore, and the Queens Room, which I remember was once reserved for "First Class only," is now open to all, and needs updating from it's late 1960's look.
		The Queen's room didn't stay open late, but had a jazz dance band which was really good.
		They have a British-style pub called the Golden Lion, an elegant one with the original piano from the Queen Mary in the Chart Room bar, and a large one called the Crystal Bar outside the Mauritania restaurant.
