It was all smiles outside the Old State House today as the British consulate threw a little street party to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's ascension to the throne. Grenadiers milled about but didn't try to retake the former seat of the provincial government, instead spending most of their time posing for photos and showing off their weapons to children who asked nicely. The queen herself made an appearance, although the flight across the pond seemed to have left her a bit stiff:

You'd think somebody from Plymouth would know better than to damage a historic landmark

Innocent, etc.
Ed. note: Maybe he's just jealous because his town's historic landmark is so boring.
