For English people,
the Queen represents the living history of the British, the British people like to see her image mow and then, because she brings them the sense of stability and security. However, in the eyes of we these foreigners, the Queen is probably more a cultural meaning of the symbols, a British cultural symbol, like Harry Potter and the Beatles. If there is no queen in England, that's too bad!
Before the Olympic Games, the BBC had done a survey, the results show that almost 70% of Britons are not interested in this year's London Olympics, the reason is very simple - this year is the 60th anniversary of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II who had ascended the throne, the whole country has been in jubilation for this in this year. For a country which even didn't hold a National Day, only the existence of the Queen will make them feel the existence of their state.
This kind of "existence" was greatly presented in the London Olympic Games, as you can see, in the head title of the next day's BBC news, the focus was put on the movie plot by the Queen and Bond but not the ignition and Beckham's sending fire. Whether the Queen's Corgi or the performance of the substitute has become a popular discussion topic of the public.
Wherever you walk in the streets or avenues of London, something connected with this romantic Queen will catch your eyes at the first sight: the postcards, the cup printed with the portraits of the Queen, and in the attractions you will visit in London, the figure of the Queen is anywhere, the scepter and crown used in the ceremony of ascending throne displayed in the London Tower, the household and jewelry which can brighten your eyes, the guard ceremony in front the Buckingham, which has been keeping unchanged becomes every tourist's best choice whenever they come to this beautiful city; another example is the rented house leaved out from the Windsor Castle by the Queen, although each of them was about á30,000 a night, and although the government was worried about the sales result, the rooms were surprisingly sold out! And the Queen also won a special medal in this Olympics…If no royal family and the Queen exists, these spots will not have any practical significance}.
During the Olympics, the British National Portrait Gallery specially organized an exhibition for all the people to visit the portraits and photos since the Queen ascended the throne. The data and collection of the exhibition was detailed enough, some of the photos have appeared for many times, some of the oil paintings were put out for the first time, and even some "private photos" were also displayed for the exhibition, but the visitors still came in an endless stream. The exhibition poster this time will choose a half-length photo of the Queen with her eyes closed elegantly, which is close to the definition of "Hanging down the eyes to meditate"|An exhibition was specially held by the British National Portrait Gallery to display some of the portraits and photos of the Queen since she ascended the throne during the 2012 London Olympic Games. The content of this exhibition was quite affluent, there were some "old photos" that had been appreciated before, but some photos and portraits were put out for the first time, especially some "private photos", all of these attracted countless people. The exhibition poster this time is to choose a half-length photo with the elegant pose of the Queen who is closing her eyes while thinking, which we Chinese people would like to call "hanging down and meditation"}.
The British scholar David said that in spite of the unlikeness of the British royal family by some of the British (especially the Scottish), the 86-year-old Queen's influence still has reached the highest point in decades. To some degree, the queen has become the British "totem".
