I was forced to watch some by dint of living in a household that is less than solidly republican. I see that she can stand up for quite a while (admittedly, not bad for an advanced wrinkly such as she, though not a unique skill by a long chalk) and do funny little waves. I imagine she can also say "Hellay, and what do you do?" when prompted. She can sit in a big room and pat people on the shoulder with a sword. She can giggle with call-me Dave and frown at Brown. Let's face it, gnu. Her "job" generally consists of turning up to places via the finest forms of transport available on the planet. Once there, she does next to nothing except "be an icon." To suggest that no-one else could do these things, is, well, a trifle fanciful to say the least. By far the most successful aspect of her job is that she keeps her trap shut. And, unlike her feckless son Big-ears, she manages not to bob up and down like a bloody idiot in the view of billions of people during the Sailor's Hornpipe. You see, even I am capable of giving her some credit.
