This video includes the door of the House of Commons being slammed on the face of Black Rod (the Queen's representative) to symbolise the independence of the elected House of Commons from the monarchy. This ritual is derived from what happened when the attempt by Charles I to arrest five MPs in 1642, in what was seen as a breach of privilege. After that incident, the House of Commons has maintained its right to question the right of the monarch's representative to enter their chamber, though they can not bar him from entering with lawful authority. In recent years, Black Rod been heckled by the outspoken Labour MP Dennis Skinner who this time asked "Are there any Tory moles at the palace?"

Black Rod is a senior officer in the British House of Lords. Despite being responsible for security, access and order within the House and its precincts, Black Rod is most famous for his role at the State Opening of Parliament. This year's Opening took place on the 4th June 2014 and saw Black Rod perform his usual duty of being sent from the House of Lords to the House of Commons to summon MPs to hear the Queen's Speech (not being a "commoner", the Queen is not allowed to enter the House of Commons herself).
As is tradition, the door is slammed in Black Rod's face at first to symbolise the Commons' independence. After being summoned, all MPs then follow Black Rod to the House of Lords, talking loudly as they go. Look out for the Prime Minister David Cameron and opposition leader Ed Miliband making small talk.

The Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, generally shortened to just Black Rod, is an official in the parliaments of several Commonwealth countries. The position originates in the House of Lords of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. His equivalent in the House of Commons is the Serjeant at Arms.
The office was created in 1350 by royal letters patent, though the current title dates from 1522. The position was adopted by other members of the Commonwealth when they adopted the British Westminster system. The title is derived from the staff of office, an ebony staff topped with a golden lion, which is the main symbol of the office's authority.
Black Rod is formally appointed by the Crown based on a recruitment search performed by the Clerk of the Parliaments, to whom he reports. Prior to 2002 the office rotated among retired senior officers from the British Army, the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. It is now advertised openly. Black Rod is an officer of the English Order of the Garter, and takes the rank of knight bachelor. His deputy is the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod.

Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light. Although black is sometimes described as an "achromatic", or hueless, color, in practice it can be considered a color, as in expressions like "black cat" or "black paint".
The word black comes from Old English blæc ("black, dark", also, "ink"), from Proto-Germanic *blakkaz ("burned"), from Proto-Indo-European *bhleg- ("to burn, gleam, shine, flash"), from base *bhel- ("to shine"), related to Old Saxon blak ("ink"), Old High German blah ("black"), Old Norse blakkr ("dark"), Dutch blaken ("to burn"), and Swedish bläck ("ink"). More distant cognates include Latin flagrare ("to blaze, glow, burn"), and Ancient Greek phlegein ("to burn, scorch"). Black supplanted the wonted Old English word sweart ("black, dark"), which survives as swart, swarth, and swarthy (compare German schwarz and Dutch zwart, "black").
Black can be defined as the visual impression experienced when no visible light reaches the eye. (This makes a contrast with whiteness, the impression of any combination of colors of light that equally stimulates all three types of color-sensitive visual receptors.)

'Black Rod' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:
The Libertine (2004)

McKenna (actor), John Malkovich (actor), Jack Davenport (actor), Matt Curtis (miscellaneous crew), Michael Nyman (composer),
Plot: In 1660, with the return of Charles II to the English throne, theater, the visual arts, science and sexual promiscuity flourish. Thirteen years later, in the midst of political and economical problems, Charles II asks for the return of his friend John Wilmot, aka the second Earl of Rochester, from exile back to London. John is a morally-corrupt drunkard and a sexually- active cynical poet. When the King asks John to prepare a play for the French ambassador so as to please him, John meets the aspiring actress Elizabeth Barry in the playhouse and decides to make her into a great star. He falls in love with her and she becomes his mistress. During the presentation to the Frenchman, he falls into disgrace with the court. When he was thirty-three years old and dying of syphilis associated with alcoholism, he converts to being a religious man.
Keywords: 1670s, 17th-century, abduction, acting-coach, actor, actress, adulterous-husband, adultery, affection, alcoholGenres: Drama,
Taglines: He didn't resist temptation. He pursued it.
Quotes:
Countess: [contemptuously] Anyone can drink.::Rochester: Not many can match my determination.Rochester: I never wanted you for a mistress, Lizzy. I wanted you for my wife.
Rochester: Did you miss me?::Jane: I missed the money.::Rochester: Good. I don't like a whore with sentiment.
King Charles II: When did I banish him?::Royal Advisor: Three months ago.::King Charles II: For how long?::Royal Advisor: A year.::King Charles II: Bring him back. Now.
[to King Charles II, while watching Rochester's play]::French Nobleman: That's very amusing, because in France he would be executed for this.
King Charles II: Elizabeth had her Shakespeare. You could be mine.
[first lines]::Rochester: Allow me to be frank at the commencement. You will not like me. The gentlemen will be envious and the ladies will be repelled. You will not like me now and you will like me a good deal less as we go on. Ladies, an announcement: I am up for it, all the time. That is not a boast or an opinion, it is bone hard medical fact. I put it round you know. And you will watch me putting it round and sigh for it. Don't. It is a deal of trouble for you and you are better off watching and drawing your conclusions from a distance than you would be if I got my tarse up your petticoats. Gentlemen. Do not despair, I am up for that as well. And the same warning applies. Still your cheesy erections till I have had my say. But later when you shag - and later you will shag, I shall expect it of you and I will know if you have let me down - I wish you to shag with my homuncular image rattling in your gonads. Feel how it was for me, how it is for me and ponder. 'Was that shudder the same shudder he sensed? Did he know something more profound? Or is there some wall of wretchedness that we all batter with our heads at that shining, livelong moment. That is it. That is my prologue, nothing in rhyme, no protestations of modesty, you were not expecting that I hope. I am John Wilmot, Second Earl of Rochester and I do not want you to like me.
Rochester: That would not be appropriate for a man of breeding.::[Throws food at his mother]
Rochester: How old are you, Mr Downs?::Billy Downs: Eighteen, my lord.::Rochester: Young man, you will die of this company. Do not laugh, I'm serious.
Rochester: And yet you do not draw the moral of the incident.::Billy Downs: Which is?::Rochester: That any experiment of interest in life will be carried out at your own expense. Mark it well.

Actors: Cyril Shaps (actor), John Wood (actor), Roger Hammond (actor), Geoffrey Palmer (actor), Nigel Hawthorne (actor), Jeremy Child (actor), Julian Rhind-Tutt (actor), Alan Bennett (actor), Ian Holm (actor), Rupert Everett (actor), Jim Carter (actor), Roger Ashton-Griffiths (actor), Rupert Graves (actor), Helen Mirren (actress), Amanda Donohoe (actress),
Plot: The story of King George III of England's slide into insanity, and the political and royal back stabbing which results from his incapacitation.

You might learn something.::[circles around Pembroke]::George III: Good arse too.::[rubs his behind against hers]::George III: And warm, eh, I'll bet. Ahh.
George III: Good evening, Mrs. King.::Queen Charlotte: Good evening, Mr. King.
Fox: Do you enjoy all this flummery, Mr. Pitt?::Pitt: No, Mr. Fox.::Fox: Do you enjoy anything, Mr. Pitt?::Pitt: A balance sheet, Mr. Fox. I enjoy a good balance sheet.
[Pitt has given the King some papers to sign]::George III: What is this? America, I suppose.::Pitt: No, sir.::George III: Oh, America's not to be spoken of, is that it?::Pitt: For your peace of mind, sir. But it's not America.::George III: Peace of mind! I have no peace of mind. I've had no peace of mind since we lost America. Forests, old as the world itself... meadows... plains... strange delicate flowers... immense solitudes... and all nature new to art... all ours... Mine. Gone. A paradise... lost.
[the King is reading his speech at the State Opening of Parliament]::George III: Whereas we, George III, in this year of our Lord 1788, do open this Parliament, giving notice that our will and pleasure is that the following bills shall be laid before this House. A bill for the regulation of trade with our possessions in North America...::[There is a reproving cough from Thurlow]::George III: Our *former* possessions in North America...

wn.com/Queen's Black Rod Has Door Slammed In His Face By Mps
Black Rod is a senior officer in the British House of Lords. Despite being responsible for security, access and order within the House and its precincts, Black Rod is most famous for his role at the State Opening of Parliament. This year's Opening took place on the 4th June 2014 and saw Black Rod perform his usual duty of being sent from the House of Lords to the House of Commons to summon MPs to hear the Queen's Speech (not being a "commoner", the Queen is not allowed to enter the House of Commons herself).
As is tradition, the door is slammed in Black Rod's face at first to symbolise the Commons' independence. After being summoned, all MPs then follow Black Rod to the House of Lords, talking loudly as they go. Look out for the Prime Minister David Cameron and opposition leader Ed Miliband making small talk.

This video includes the door of the House of Commons being slammed on the face of the Yeoman Usher to symbolise the independence of the elected House of Commons from the monarchy. This ritual is derived from what happened when the attempt by Charles I to arrest five MPs in 1642, in what was seen as a breach of privilege. After that incident, the House of Commons has maintained its right to question the right of the monarch's representative to enter their chamber, though they can not bar him from entering with lawful authority.
Normally, the door is slammed in the face of Black Rod (currently Sir Freddie Viggers) but he was unwell, so his deputy, Colonel E. Lloyd-Jukes (Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod), had to step in.

Lost In The Sound
Not everybody has a place to call their home,
(their home)
They walk this earth with their shoulders down and faded hope,
(fading hope)
Let's bring their faith back,
let's make them believe yea what we believe,
(believe)
We can change this,
we can make things alright,
just get lost on the sound,
Heeeey!
Not every kid has got a bed to call their own,
(their own)
I lay there and think about this and wonder if,
(wonder if)
We can bring their faith back,
can we make them believe,
yea what we believe,
(believe)
We can change this,
we can make things alright,
just get lost in the sound,
Heeeey!
We'll change it!,
we'll make it alright,
just get lost in the sound,
Yeeeea!
Hey, leave your troubles behind
get lost in the sound, yea
Hey, leave your troubles behind
get lost in the sound, yea
We can change this,
we can make things alright,
Heeeey!
We'll change it!,
we'll make it alright,
just get lost in the sound,
Yeeeea!
We can change this,
we can make things alright,
Heeeey!
We'll change it!,
we'll make it alright,
just get lost in the sound,
Yeeeea!
(yea we can change this with a little more time we'll make everything alright)
