    Broadly my feeling. It’s used too often, especially the more wordy versions. Actual Ceremonial occasions like Graduation, absolutely. Every class just makes it into meaningless jibber. I could support plaques along the lines of public halls often having a Monarch portrait on display.

    (Edit to add: I’ve probably the relevant genetics but not the cultural raising. Make of that what you wish)
