[edit] Queen Mother's Hatchment
This hatchment shows arms of a deceased person with higher rank and wider fame than any other on the page, so it made sense to add identification, including Wikipedia link.
For good reasons related to Wikipedia style, the target page is named "Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon". Even so, she was universally known at her death as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
According to the article, hatchments are little-used today, but I resisted the temptation to note that this is a "rare modern example".Monomoit (talk) 18:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
