You know that cliché old adage about someone bringing the weather from where their from when they come for a visit? Well, the Queen of England, along with her husband Prince Philip, are in Richmond today to celebrate the 400th Anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, VA. Yesterday in Richmond was about 90° F and sunny. Today is overcast and in the upper 50’s. Honestly, Your Majesty; you’re not really visiting if you bring everything from home with you. I’m just saying.
this made me laugh. she must have sent some icky weather our way too…it’s rainy and glum out there.
I wonder if the Union Jack is ever hung upside-down as it is on occasion as part of the Hawaiian flag.
I think so, but I think it’s more likely that it is a result of not knowing which direction is up on the Union Jack (red stripes for Ireland first, going clockwise) than a political statement. It’s tough to even notice the political statement in a nearly symmetric flag. :)
