    Really great video! There are 1000s of channels based in the U.S. that talk about the U.S., but I like when you talk about Europe and its history. There are alot of things, and history about the U.K. and Europe that westerners don't know. Common things. This was an excellent video. I'm gonna go dance til I'm exhausted now....

      It's not the first time we've had an animal in Edinburgh Zoo who was officially in the military.
      A Polish batallion during WWII rescued a Persian brown bear, whom they named Wojtek. To keep him with them, they made him a Private. At the Battle of Monte Cassino, Wojtek kept the artillery guns going by passing shells to the gunners. For this he was promoted to Corporal.
      After the war the battalion was in Scotland, where they were disbanded. They gifted Wojtek to Edinburgh Zoo, where he lived out the remainder of his life peacefully. In 2017 a bronze statue of Wojtek and a Polish gunner was unveiled in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens as a war memorial and in tribute to him.
      As to Sir Nils Olav III, I don't know why. However, the Norwegian King's Guard takes it very seriously, and whenever they visit Edinburgh, they go on parade at the zoo, for Sir Nils to officially inspect them.

    Singers and actors should be some of the least of all people to be knighted. Maybe combat soldiers, or civilians that did a dangerously heroic deed. Perhaps an inventor or scientist that bettered the world with their discovery. I’d almost argue a prostitute has more of a reason to be knighted.

    In todays society I would of thought Blasphemy laws would have been right out the window. Its in direct contradiction to freedom of speech. (As long as its not inciting violence)
    Saying to someone else, "You can't say that!" and having the state punish them is very regressive.
    And yes, you have every right to disagree with me and say what you like about my opinion because thats your freedom of speech.

      At least the German "blasphemy law" is actually protecting public peace - so you can say whatever you like as long as you are not inciting a riot.

    A penguin can be knighted, but in England the Irish can only receive an honorary knighthood...

      Ditto for any other foreign country to be fair. It's not just in England, it's in the United kingdom as a whole, of which Northern Ireland is of course a part and an Irishman from there cab receive a full knighthood. An Irishman from Eire though is treated the same as, for instance, an American - i.e. from outside the UK.

    So to be knighted in England one must risk having an ancient woman wave a sword near your neck, at the same time you must realize that knighthood is so silly that even a penguin and his lineage have been knighted...I think I'd probably pass on the opportunity

    Whenever a contingent of the Norwegian King's Guard visit Edinburgh, they go on parade at the zoo for Sir Nils Olav III to inspect them.
    The Blasphemy laws in Scots Law are soon to be repealed. However, the Hate Speech Law set to replace them has hit a sticking point, as many feel that the wording of causing offence is too open to interpretation, and could potentially be abused to make justifiable criticism of religion appear to be an offence.
