      Testing one, this. Can't find a way in. Helen Mirren's middle name is Lydia: that's as far as I've got

      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          The armoured vehicle can't be Landrover - they aren't armoured?

                Lydia huh?! Named after .....

                Groucho sings his signature song, "Lydia the Tattooed Lady," in At the Circus

                  The person associated with 'The Queen' was neither depicted in it nor a member of the cast - but was arguably the most important person involved in the making of it. The name of the person mentioned in the title of The Hollies song does not begin with 'L'. 'L' was also popular with, and unofficially adopted by, people often to be found in armoured vehicles.

                    No...but as it happens the 'L' you're looking for was originally called Lydia.

                        'L' retained her femininity following her adoption by the chaps in the armoured vehicles.
