I know the title on the top of the video says 'From a Jack to a Queen', but the right title is on the video itself. It's King, not Queen. :D

I’ve seen many a ‘Waterloo Sunset’, Dave.

When that song first came out, I thought the title was about them, but alas! It wasn’t. There is a stretch of coastline a mile or two north from where I lived in Liverpool from where you could enjoy stunning sunsets over Liverpool Bay and the Irish Sea, and it started from Waterloo, which was the next district from where I lived. It was nicknamed ‘Sunset Strip’ - nothing to do with the number 77, either. :D
