I don't think it really matters. It will be interesting to see how many organisations bother to change. For example, the State Dress worn by the Yeoman Warders at the Tower still, and always, had on it the Tudor Crown.
The police in Guernsey have since 1920, worn the Tudor Crown on their helmet plates. A great many members of the Hertfordshire Constabulary still wear a QVC cap badge.
Much of the horse furniture used by the Royal Household still bears the Tudor Crown.
So, whilst the cipher may change the Crown may not. At the end of the day were are talking about millions of pounds of expenditure to effect such changes and I think it will be many years before EIIR and the St. Edwards Crown disappear, if ever.
Of course, there will be many Commanding Officer's in military circles who will demand change immediately. That said, I suspect that the Government will expect restraint at such a time of economic depression. After all, there are many more important things to spend money on.
Dave.
