They certainly take their sovereignty seriously in Northern
Ireland. In the town of Larne on the north coast, local unionists have got
together to build a giant eight metre crown on a roundabout to demonstrate
their loyalty to the throne in time for the Queen’s Jubilee, which is a bit of
a shame if Queenie isn’t going to make the effort to see it. Unfortunately, the
crown is not yet on Google Street View, and others want the crown removed in
the interests of equality since the Jubilee has now passed. This is a town that
has a regular annual march to demonstrate its loyalties to Irish independence,
which takes place just before St. Patrick’s day. I wonder if the crown will
survive after this display? It will certainly make for an interesting
battleground, as the defenders would be surrounded on all sides and would have
to build barracks on the road itself in order to fight back. Get there quick if
you want to see it.
