It doesn't mean anything of the kind... you're projecting your own interpretation of his actions here only, he has explained he was thinking of the fallen so why must he be warbling 'God save the queen' to do this?
What you would or wouldn't do in this instance is of no consequence.

Veterans HAVE been offended by this.

Monarchists have been offended by this the fact that they are veterans too is unfortunate, he was thinking of all service personnel past and present are they all offended?

I'd bet most if not all would be.These people lay down their lives for us and he can't even sing a song to show them he's grateful.Nobody's asking him to lay in a desert taking fire from AK's.Just to sing a song to outwardly show his appreciation for those that do.

Again you're projecting, a song does not show anything.
Actions speak louder than words, talking to people.. even people we are having major conflicts with.. it's what statesmen/women do.

The very real truth about the Left Wing is, that they are so focused on ousting the Tory Government they DENY, DENY, DENY, ANY ESTABLISHED TRUTHS WHICH DOES NOT FIT THEIR EXTREMIST LEFT WING AGENDA.

Corbyn is a treacherous, anti-British, wanker and his pro-terrorist extreme anti-British views are on record for ALL but the LEFT WING SELF-BLINDED to see.

It is becoming tedious.

Exactly. Pro-monarchy veterans have been offended by this because they are pro-monarchy, not because they are veterans. Veterans who are pro-Republic (and I'm sure there are plenty) will not have been offended at all that he chose not to sing it. In fact, I'm sure many fully understand, as I'm sure many in the army (who ARE duty bound to play along, more or less under orders) have to do plenty of monarchy-praising and singing through gritted teeth.
