After dessert and coffee have been served, the host rises and asks for the audience's attention so that they may join in a toast to The Queen. Once the guests have risen, the host raises his/her glass and simply says:

   "The Queen/La Reine"

without any other word or music. The audience responds to the toast by repeating:

   "The Queen/La Reine"

drinks the toast and sits. Members of the Royal Family do not respond to toasts.

The Loyal Toast (i.e. the toast to The Queen) is always the first one to be proposed.

Any beverage may be used for toast, except cocktail; wine or water are preferred.
