    Does anyone still watch her 3pm Christmas broadcast? She's been doing it for 60 years!

    We watch her every year. Love the way she says 'fire' - 'faaawr'.

    For clarity I'm talking about Queen Elizabeth II, 'Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England'.

    She’s good for her age though. Her father and I think his father were on the radio. Why don’t we have something similar with Michael D?

    Why would I watch the speech of the head of a foreign state? I’d rather watch Linda Martin sing Get Lucky.

    You might want to edit your title. Which queen are you talking about?

    I didn't see it this year, did she make any reference to Brexit? She is a Brexiter, it was revealed.

    She usually does that through her gob and calls it entertainment.

    Your best bet is Board's resident unionists but they seem to have gone missing since the Brexit embarrassment.

    I always watch. When the Manchester attack happened it was her there in the hospital with victims, she had to lead the way for others then to follow. Her message is never political. It's always her message to spread kindness to others .

    RTE one, the late late show at least once a year.

    I watched it. She's 90 something and is the head of an institution stretching back about a 1000 years.

    Have always been a great admirer of Queen Elizabeth. She's had a great reign.

    I'd worry about of the direction of the family after her Majesty goes. Charles and William are good men but they don't come across as leader types to me.
