A salute to Guna?

(Edit: Original thread title said “Guna Salute …” - corrected a few hours later).

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

It's the second anniversary of the accession of His Majesty King Charles II to the throne.

Somewhat more somberly for him, it's the second anniversary of his mother's death

Yes he's been quite vocal and a few staunch royalists are demanding he hand back his knighthood.
