Celebrtating Jubilee: The Modern Monarch

I find it amazing to think about how much the world has changed since the Queen began her reign 60 years ago.  The Queen has been criticized at times for remaining too traditional or old fashioned, but I think she has shown considerable adaptability to technological and social change. Is she in tune with modern times? Perhaps not completely... but she certainly is relevant and remaining relevant over 60 years is an amazing accomplishment.

The music is one of Jeff's favourite retro techno tracks- it seemed rather fitting for our part retro part modern Queen. Click here for a larger screen version.
