Should the crown not be pierced?

I have to say that this is all very exciting, something that may only happen once in a person's lifetime! I was 6 when Queen Elizabeth II was crowned.

Ah, you are very right Simon, I wasn't considering the Queen and King Charles. Thank you for keeping me straight.

Wow! 5 for your mother!!! I will never top that I can assure you! Truly awesome!

I have seen it written down somewhere that it was Tommy Harris, then GOC NI, who came up with the UDR design (by pulling an old RUR badge out of his drawer and snapping off the scroll).
