Sir Tom.

I think Sir Tom thinks very highly of the Queen, and for him it is such an honour for her to bestow his knighthood. I love the fact that he is not telling us anything about what he and the Queen spoke about. He is such an absolute joy to listen to, he is so bright and amusing, he would great to spend a day with, I am sure he would keep you interested for hours. The fact that he is so proud of meeting Her Majesty makes her the best person for him. The world needs more Captain Sir Tom’s (think he is a Colonel as well, but not sure what order it goes in).

I kbow it is Grammargrandma. Just a mistake. I can still rhyme them off in alphabetical order. We had to do that every morning in primary year 7. Before reciting our tables. Great fun!

What a wonderful video of the Queen knighting Sir Tom, it must have been a fantastic day for both of them.The Queen is marvellous for her age, handling that sword cant have been easy for her,The long conversation afterwards looked very informal and they looked as though they were enjoying themselves.Congratulations Sir Tom.

Annepl - "between" is a preposition, not an adjective, btw.

I too rhink they make a good couple. But still not a royalist fan....?

If you read my link you will understand. If myself is used reflexively referring to the word I in rhe same sentence then it is correct.

I've never heard "between you and myself" and would think it is incorrect. All I know is that "between" is a preposition as is "with" and you would never say "he went to the shops with myself." ME.
Sorry, as I said earlier, this shouldn't detract from Sir Tom's achievement. It was just the way the poster said "What did you expect?" somewhat sharply to me a few pages back when I was grammatically right.

Sir Tom = Magic!!

Certainly not ‘myself’. You don’t say myself had a conversation with the Queen you say I had a conversation with the Queen. My pet hate at the moment is the frequent misuse of ‘myself’ listen and you’ll all notice it.

Well done, Sir Tom. A heartwarming event. I love the fact that he - very politely as always - wouldn’t reveal what the Queen had said to him! That made me laugh - he’s so humble and down to earth.

And sad Camilla’s marriage to Andrew didn’t work out, 2 marriages failed, 3 from the marriages remarried, sadly one
died.

Very happy for charles and Camilla ,sad it didnt work out with the mother of his children.For thoes who know the pain of being in a loveless marriage.
The knighthood was well deserved the queen has served with great dignity.

Why do 2 lovely occasions -Knighting of Major Tom and the marriage of Princess Beatrice - have to start the sniping about the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall?

I think Camilla has made Prince Charles very happy and is a great support for him, as Prince Philip is to our Queen.

Anyone know what happened to Sir Tom's £32million? Where did it go?

Thank you Anniebach

Oops. Apologies Avalon It seems you can use either me or myself in this context. You learn something every day ?

annelp I did use your name because I was replying to you.
yes asking ‘ you know everyone ‘ was sarcasm, I apologise

Avalon I have already posted that it should be me and not I. objective pronoun.

I would love to tell him he is wrong but then he will probably say I didn’t tell him right! Tried to look it up but wasn’t sure.

I consulted the oracle aka dh who is a stickler for grammar and he thought “the queen and myself” was best.

Don’t want to be argumentative, but oh no, not the Queen and myself surely?

Always think when ‘myself’ is used, it nearly always sounds odd.

I will wait to be put right on that though,

Anniebach "you know everyone?" Was sarcasm which was rude, and you know it.

Wandering apostrophe which does not belong to me.

*Nannytrace*. Anne had an affair with Tim Lawrence, a maid stole love letters and sold them to a newspaper, she like Charles divorced and remarried. Curious now, what has
Edward done ?

Well, they've lasted for 27 years now.

Who could blame her after the way Mark Phillip's behaved?

Anniebach your last remark was directed at me. It was preceded by my name. And it was rude - by my standards anyway. Honestly I would need the patience of a saint! Goodnight!

Yes, Camilla for Queen Consort. She's been good for Charles and they are obviously happy together. Best of luck to them I say and I'm not even a Royalist.
Well done to the Queen for personally knighting Sir Tom in the sunshine and best of luck to Beatrice and her husband. Pity her father and the virus messed up her wedding - or maybe she didn't even want all the fuss that her sister and MM had? I wouldn't.
