Watching the memorial service the other day in tribute to the Falklands war dead - the Queen was being presented to guests outside the church - do not know who they all were but recognised our beloved leader and his wife, Margaret Beckett - all the men bowed and all the women curtsied with the exception of one - ignorant cat otherwise known as Cherie Blair. (She barely inclined her head) To my mind it is a mark of respect to bow/curstey to our Queen. What do you think?

I dont think I would either...im rather in favour of a republic actually..although I accept that a monarchy does make the UK perhaps a more romantic? place because we still have a queen/king, and hence increases tourist spending.

I would have thought Cherie because of her own professional position and also as wife of the PM should have accorded the Queen a little respect.

Atleast her husband was elected.

Cherie is always too full of her own importance, one day she will realise how disliked she is, or maybe she knows already and can't hack it.
