Ratu England arah kira angsa
LONDON, Britain - Kehadiran kawanan angsa liar di tasik atau sungai sememangnya kerap menarik perhatian orang ramai.
Di Britain pula terdapat amalan tradisi mengira angsa yang dititahkan sendiri oleh Ratu Elizabeth.
Ia mungkin nampak pelik, tetapi tradisi ini sangat penting bagi ratu England itu.
Tradisi yang diamalkan sejak abad ke-12 itu melibatkan kerja-kerja mengira populasi angsa di Sungai Thames.
Justeru, istana Buckingham baru-baru ini mengumumkan acara tahunan mengira angsa, akan dijalankan oleh pegawai Penanda Angsa Diraja, David Barber dari 20 hingga 21 Julai ini.
"Dengan bantuan Warden Angsa Diraja, Profesor Christopher Perrinas dari Universiti Oxford, mereka akan bertugas mengira angsa dan anak angsa selain melihat jika ada tanda-tanda kecederaan atau sakit pada haiwan tersebut," kata kenyataan dari istana Buckingham.
Barber akan mendayung sepanjang sungai Thames selama lima hari bersama warden angsa dengan memakai seragam khas.
Mereka akan mengira, menimbang dan mengukur saiz angsa-angsa tersebut.
Mengikut tradisi, dulu kerja-kerja mengira angsa dilakukan di seluruh Britain, tetapi sekarang ini Ratu England hanya melakukannya di sepanjang sungai Thames dan kawasan sekitar.
Dulu penanda angsa diraja bukan saja bertugas mengira haiwan tersebut, tetapi bertanggungjawab menangkap sebanyak yang mungkin untuk dijadikan sajian pada majlis makan malam diraja.
Tahun ini upacara tersebut dianggap penting kerana Ratu Elizabeth akan turut menyertai pasukan mengira angsa.
Baginda akan belayar di sepanjang sungai dan melawat sekolah-sekolah yang menjalankan projek berkaitan pemeliharaan angsa. - Reuters |

Britain's queen calls 2009 "difficult year"
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Queen Elizabeth paid tribute to the armed forces and referred to the recession in her annual Christmas Day message on Friday, describing 2009 as a "difficult year".
"Each year that passes seems to have its own character. Some leave us with a feeling of satisfaction, others are best forgotten. 2009 was a difficult year for many, in particular those facing the continuing effects of the economic downturn," she said, as she opened her message.

The queen, who is the titular head of the military, said she was saddened by the casualties suffered in Afghanistan, but added: "We can be proud of the positive contribution that our servicemen and women are making, in conjunction with our allies."
The number of British troops killed in Afghanistan this year reached 100 in early December, with six more deaths in recent days, including two by 'friendly fire', taking the total to 106. British troops are deployed in more than 80 countries, including around 10,000 in Afghanistan.
In her 57th address, pre-recorded at Buckingham Palace, the Queen also spoke extensively of the Commonwealth group of countries, which celebrated its 60th anniversary this year.
"It is 60 years since the Commonwealth was created and today, with more than a billion of its members under the age of 25, the organisation remains a strong and practical force for good," said the monarch, who is also head of the organisation of mostly British ex-colonies.
"In many aspects of our lives, whether in sport, the environment, business or culture, the Commonwealth connection remains vivid and enriching. It is, in lots of ways, the face of the future."
The Queen's Christmas message, which is broadcast on television, radio and the Internet, is a traditional part of Christmas Day celebrations for many Britons. Unlike her speech at the opening of parliament, the monarch uses the message to express her own views rather than those of the government. |

Ratu Britain jadi rakyatbiasa?
‘RATU Elizabeth II’ keluar dari sebuah pasar raya selepas membeli-belah.
WARGA London minggu lalu gempar apabila melihat Ratu Elizabeth II ‘mencemar duli’ dengan pergi membeli-belah dan menaiki kereta api bersempena cuti perayaan Krismas.
Baginda dilihat menghabiskan masa membeli pelbagai barangan harian di sebuah pasar raya besar di Sandringham dengan membawa dua ekor anjing peliharaannya.
Tanpa pengawal peribadi dan tahap keselamatan yang ketat, ratu itu turut dilihat mengeluarkan wang tunai di sebuah mesin teler automatik dan makan tengah hari di sebuah restoran.
Namun, apa yang disaksikan itu hanyalah rakaman oleh seorang jurugambar ternama, Alison Jackson yang popular dengan foto-foto selebriti wajah seiras termasuk kenamaan terkenal.
Kehadiran ‘Ratu England’ itu di khalayak ramai termasuk ketika menaiki sebuah komuter awam ke Norfolk baru-baru ini memberi gambaran bagaimana kehidupan harian baginda jika diberi peluang menjadi rakyat biasa. – Agensi
