  2. The grave of the Unknown Warrior was the only stone that was not covered by the special carpet in the Abbey. The day after the wedding, Princess Elizabeth followed a Royal tradition started by her mother, of sending her wedding bouquet back to the Abbey to be laid on this grave.
  3. William McKie, the Abbey organist, had been summoned to the Palace four days before the wedding so that Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret could sing the descant to Crimond to him so that he could note it down as no other copy was available.
  4. The two Royal kneelers, used during the service, were covered in rose pink silk. They were made from orange boxes, due to war time austerity, and date stamped 1946.
  5. Trumpet fanfares were introduced for the first time at a Royal wedding in the Abbey. A white flag was waved in the organ loft to signal the fanfare once the register had been signed.
  6. Gifts, kindly made and given by members of the public, included a hand-knitted cardigan, two pairs of bed socks, and a hand-knitted tea cosy.
  7. The cake was nine feet high in four tiers, with painted panels of the armorial bearings of both families, and included the monograms of bride and groom, sugar-iced figures to depict their favourite activities, and regimental and naval badges. The cake was cut using the Duke's Mountbatten sword, which was a wedding present from the King.

Today's list come from my regular contributor Elephino. Thanks :D

  1. My boyfriend's tool is too big for my mouth.
    Reply: Stop putting spanners in your mouth then.
  2. I just started having sex, and my boyfriend keeps popping out when we do it.
    Reply: You're obviously not doing it very well if he keeps leaving the room
  3. Can you tell me what's wrong, and how we can fix it?
    Reply: I could tell you but then you'd sell to Nigerian scammers
  4. He doesn't know who is here nor care.
    Reply: Of course he doesn't care. He'd have to know who was there to be able to care who was there.
  5. Increase Your Income in Only 1 HOUR Per Day
    Reply: But I want to increase my income all the time, not just for 1 hour
  6. When I tried to give him oral sex, I practically choked. How do I do it without gagging? Please help!
