		Queen Victoria was the first reigning Monarch to use the Palace in its current form as an official working base for the Sovereign; she came to live at Buckingham Palace (from her home at Kensington Palace) in July 1837.
		Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of England, but she is also Queen of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - in other words Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
		Therefore to describe The Queen as 'Queen of England' is not strictly incorrect, but it is somewhat misleading as she is also Queen of other parts of the United Kingdom, and of the realms in the Commonwealth.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Parliamentary Elections in the U.K. - Elections to the House of Commons
		The United Kingdom Parliament is composed of the Crown, that is the monarch, the House of Lords, an appointive and hereditary upper chamber, and the popularly elected lower chamber, the House of Commons.
		For general election purposes, the United Kingdom is currently divided into 646 constituencies, each of which returns one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons, elected for a maximum term of five years.
		That the British government was willing to implement PR in Northern Ireland but not in Great Britain proper may have appeared to be a contradiction, but the rationale was that Northern Ireland is different, with a distinctively problematic situation requiring different solutions.

		It's something that only happens very rarely and I think that, especially since the Queen has been and is recognised as having been such a magnificent monarch and a dutiful monarch, that 50 years on the throne is not being recognised.
		QUEEN ELIZABETH II: Your welcome and your demonstration of love here this afternoon have given me the greatest pleasure and I also congratulate you on the splendid display that you gave yesterday before the opening of Parliament.

	The Monarchy by Deborah Hart Strober and Gerald Strober
		The heiress to the Throne actually learned that she had become Queen, however, after Martin Charteris, then attached to her Household and traveling with the royal couple in Kenya, heard a report on the radio and relayed the news to Michael Parker, a close friend of Prince Philip's who was in the royal entourage.
		First of all, there was his complete concern, his consideration for her as a human being, and secondly, the implications of the fact that she was becoming the Queen and he is her husband.
		Queen Elizabeth, nee Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the King's devoted wife of nearly twenty-nine years, and now by virtue of his death a widow at the age of fifty-one, was the first to be informed.

		Majesty in her terms is the majesty of the common man. And she embodies the hope that at the centre of the vast, impersonal machinery of the modern state might lie an ordinary human being, living, breathing like everyone else.
		However, there is one aspect of the life of our Queen on which I should like to speak for a few moments, and that is the sense of dedication, which from years before her accession up to the present time, has been foremost in her life.

		Heraldists were alarmed to note that the coat of arms that topped and tailed the governor-general’s resignation speech were those of the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland rather than of the Queen of Australia.
		This irrelevant symbol with its English lions and Scottish unicorn still graces the portico of Government House, Canberra, and probably won’t be replaced with the correct armorials – with kangaroo and emu – until the current monarchy-mad prime minister retires.
		In 1986, when the Australia Acts were passed, the Queen of England technically became a foreigner to the Queen of Australia, and said foreign Queen had nothing to do with appointing the unlamented Peter Hollingworth or withdrawing his commission.
