When you think of the queen what come to mind? the British flag, Queens guards, Buckingham palace, London bridge, Tower bridge, The Bristish museums, red buses, red post boxes, black cabs, although its mostly cabbing with Uber!
WHAT’S RECOGNISE AS BEING BRITISH!
Then there is a ‘cup of tea’, fish and chips, a stiff upper lip, Gin and tonic, the queens corgis, Chelsea flower show, unpredictable English weather, sun, clouds, rain, thunder lightening, and hail stones all in one go and I happen to be stuck in one not so long ago!
There’s the british police officer, knick named as a ‘bobby’ ‘Peelers’ or copper. (Bobby after Sir Robert Peel, who founded the Metropolitan Police force in 1829).
Peelers, after Robert Peel and Coppers, short term ‘Cop’ known to capture someone. Not forgetting cockney rhyming slang, where a policeman was called a ‘Bluebottle!’
MY INTENTIONS!
For the sake of this project, we will be going right back to the Queens Jubilee and looking at the Queens guards.
I will be showing you how to make an easy Queens guard, with a fun helmet all with cardboard inner tubes!
In this instance his helmet is a little bit different!
