Description The Queen's Guard is the name given to contingents of soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences and the Queen herself. They are not purely ceremonial, despite tourist perceptions to the contrary. The Queen's Guards are fully operational soldiers. Even if said Queen has turned into a Silver Dragon they continue to stand at her side as she watches over England.

Best viewed in it's original size whilst drinking some earl grey tea and listening to "God Save the Queen"
Done in CS3, it's a scene from a story I am writing called "The Silver Throne"
You can find the first chapter of it here: netarliargus.deviantart.com/ar…

I dont think the UK wound be in such a mess if the queen was a dragon (and the UK would the be the defacto leader of the EU)

Not sure if they're good for the economy, dragons do tend to hoard stuff. Then again, the Queen already has a hoard of sorts, the crown jewels which are kept in the Tower of London.

Ahhh yes so lovely! I love how her scales shine in and against the evening gloom.
You made me ponder if I would imagine the Queen as a silver or another colour; in the end I suppose I would choose the same as you.

Thanks, I was considering her to be Gold at one point, but the whiskers give that dragon really more of an Asian look.

I agree, the whiskers of the gold can only fit so many rulers -- or rather, they fit Asian rulers so much better. I can't quite see the Queen as a bronze either (gregarious and water-loving as they are), nor the brasses and coppers, alas. Silver fits best.

Some pretty dumb/oblivious people in that video.

The guard at the Tomb of the unknown soldier can get mad too.

They have to follow protocol, even when the tourists are being stupid.

It's pretty easy to conquer your ennemies when you have superiour weaponry. Exceptions exist though, just ask the Zulu's at the Battle of Isandlwana or the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

Though she is a dragon she is also a royal person so she definitely need some guardians to keep her peace.

Yeah, but I guess some people from abroad wouldn’t believe that dragonic royal family rules over the land of people, right?

Netarliargus In reply to KunYKA [2018-01-12 10:46:51 +0000 UTC]

While she still has a lot of influence, the Queen of England doesn't really "rule" anymore, that's the parliament's job.

KunYKA In reply to Netarliargus [2018-01-12 11:32:17 +0000 UTC]

I see. Yes, I know this rule for monarch, but un fact you made a royal family as dragons... i guess they are more influencive in story?

In a certain way, you'll have to read the story to find out what happened.
