PHOENIX – Inside George & Dragon English pub in central Phoenix, cheers and toasts in honor of the late queen could be heard from British expats and the regular patrons during the early afternoon Thursday. The British community in Arizona is small but closely connected, according to David Wimberley, owner of George & Dragon. Wimberley was at home when a friend called with the news: Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday. She was 96. Soon after, calls from other British expats mourning the queen's death poured in.
