St. Lucia

I thought the Falkland islands were from Argentina?

Gilles le timbre, Argentina claims the Falklands. Britain and Argentina fought a war in the 80's over that claim. Britain won the war and the Falklands remain British.

I think that the Argentines call the islands, Las Malvinas.

I know it's hard keeping up with the news, but the Falklands have been British territory since 1833....................

Back to the subject, the portrait by Annigoni

That was brilliant and totally accurate :)

"Rural yokels who spend too much time with their sheep" made me spit coffee over my keyboard :P

Should it not be the United Queendom ?

I didn't think Canada was part of the Commonwealth anymore.

Stampvirgin, Canada is most certainly a member of the Commonwealth and has Dominion status. For the record, Her Majesty's full title for Canada is:

"Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith"

She is also the Lord of Mann.

Her Majesty's full official title:

Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas Queen, Defender of the Faith, Duchess of Edinburgh, Countess of Merioneth, Baroness Greenwich, Duke of Lancaster, Lord of Mann, Duke of Normandy, Sovereign of the Most Honourable Order of the Garter, Sovereign of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Sovereign of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Sovereign of the Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, Sovereign of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Sovereign of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Sovereign of the Distinguished Service Order, Sovereign of the Imperial Service Order, Sovereign of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India, Sovereign of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire, Sovereign of the Order of British India, Sovereign of the Indian Order of Merit, Sovereign of the Order of Burma, Sovereign of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, Sovereign of the Royal Family Order of King Edward VII, Sovereign of the Order of Merit, Sovereign of the Order of the Companions of Honour, Sovereign of the Royal Victorian Order, Sovereign of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem

Try and remember all THAT!
