Not only the smile, but the look on her face as she watched the Spitfires, the Hurricane, and the Lanc fly over ... the CBC had great coverage of all the events, and there were interviews with many of the thousands from all over Canada who attended ... The Queen enjoys immense popularity over here, and Chuck had a warm reception wherever he went ... although, he didn't go to Quebec. However, Will and Kate had a great reception there when they were over last year. I wonder how many elected heads of state have the approval rating that Her Majesty has?
