How is the power of the head of state in Britain?
The current Head of State in the UK is Queen Elizabeth II. Every new law passed by the UK Parliament must be signed by the queen before it can be enacted. This is known as The Royal Assent. In theory she could refuse to sign, but in practice this doesn't happen so the Head of State title is mostly ceremonial - and its good for tourism!

Did William the Conqueror get shot in the eye?
Answer 1:
No sorry, he wasn't shot in the eye. Instead Harald Hadraada was shot in the eye by one of the Normans archers on horseback. "but what about Harold Godwinson?" He was already dead after previously fighting Harald Hadraada
Answer 2:
Sorry you're a little mistaken here, your source for the arrow to the eye incident is the Bayeux tapestry, a Norman inspired production, depicting the battle of Hasting, intended for Bayeux in France. It was constructed in England and shows Harold Godwinson shot in the eye (but also trampled by a horse which has led to some ambiguity with regards to how he actually died). Hardraada was driven off before the battle of Hastings at which Godwinson was present; he did not die before the battle of Hastings.

It is not a ferret, it is an ermine.
Painted in 1585, by Nicholas Hilliard and on show in Hatfield House, the portrait shows an ermine standing on her lower arm. The ermine is a symbol of royalty, and it wears a crown around its neck. The crown is a symbol of majesty and purity. The Queen can be seen to be wearing the Three Brothers, a jewel made of three diamonds in a triangle around a pointed diamond.
