The Sun nevers sets on the British Empire

I created this blog for people, like myself, who wish to celebrate the B.E. Before you start protesting that the Empire was in anyway unjust I will state that this blog has been created to remember only the good parts of the Empire and all those abroad who benefited from it. I shall not deny that there were bad commanders and unjust happenings.However here we shall appreciate the best of Her Majesties Empire and Commenwealth. Admiral Audacious

Couldn't put it better myself

This Blessed Plot”

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands, -
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "King Richard II", Act 2 scene 1
