Duly Quoted: Queen Elizabeth

“It is with great pleasure that I extend my sincere best wishes to all Canadians as they prepare to mark the 100th Grey Cup—a trophy first donated by The Earl of Grey in 1909 who served with distinction and pride as Governor-General of Canada from 1909 to 1911.”

Queen Elizabeth II, who is, after all, still officially our head of state. (Noble trivia: This is not the same Earl of Grey for whom the tea is named—that was the second Earl; the Grey Cup Earl was the fourth.)
