#2 Of Britain, not one of the other ones. A nice gesture, which shows her at odds with the noisier of her subjects.

#5 "Drove ambulances during the Blitz"? I didn't know that. That took real skill -- the driver's test involved demonstrating a variety of skills with a crystal flower vase perched on the hood... which I'm told had to remain balanced, unbroken, and full of water and flowers at the end of the test.
