I also note that the RAF Flying Badge which That Woman is wearing is surmounted by a king's crown, rather than a queen's crown. - BEagle

No big deal, but I believe that we should actually refer to a Tudor crown and a St Edward's crown respectively, rather than a king's or queen's, since I understand that the St Edward's crown was also adopted by several Hanoverian kings, and that only a symbolic image of the Tudor crown was used for official purposes by 20th century kings, so may not necessarily be regarded as setting a precedent for the future.

I only (as in "solo") learned during a visit to the House of Lords this week that the original Tudor crown was apparently broken up after the execution of King Charles I, and that a replica was recreated in recent years.

Either way, TCT now appears to have succeeded in upsetting the two-winged master race of not one, but two Services, but at least we can be pretty sure that those wings are not Danny's.....
