I like to think that the UK is still closely allied with Canada & Anzac, most brits have relatives in the Commonwealth, I have a cousin who recently went to Australia. The brit armed forces are still very close to the RCAF/RAAF etc, perhaps even more so than the USA. The Commonwealth games is also still very popular, it was a big hit in Manchester. People don't view the Commonwealth as part of the 'Empire' anymore but they do view people from Australia/Canada as closer brothers than the Europeans. This is probably because we have so much culture in common, whereas Europe has such a different culture/language compared to blighty.
