In London today, Queen Elizabeth II has unveiled a new statue honoring her late mother, affectionately known as the Queen Mum or the Queen's Mumsey or Crazy Old Bat, according to whom you were asking and how sober he was at the time.
Of course, if YOU called her Crazy Old Bat, the same guy would slug you one.
The queen marked the occasion by wearing the type of fur hat and matching coat that Queen Mother Elizabeth adored, and not the trench coat, beanie and Britney-style undergarments of her latter years, just to bug Prince Charles.
The Prince himself and both his sons William and Harry were present as were other senior members of the royal family for today's unveiling, which honored one of the most beloved and popular figures in recent British history.
Sculptor Philip Jackson says he tried to capture the queen mother's sense of fun having first done the one in the trench coat and beanie according to some who glimpsed the photograph of it before it was destroyed.
The queen mother died in 2002 at age 101. Her last words reportedly, "Somebody strangle Charles as I have been prevented."
