The Queen
All the news today is of the Queen being Britain's longest serving monarch.A friend and I saw her one day many years ago, being driven through a quiet lane between villages near here. I can't remember what it was all about now, but me and my friend Sylvia couldn't believe it when the royal car came round a bend and there she was, right in front of us. I had my camera with me and I remember quickly taking a picture as she waved to us. We were chuffed to bits because we were all on our own with no crowds pushing and shoving us.
I'll try and dig it out and post it on here if I can find it.
Have you ever seen the Queen in 'real life'?

After we'd seen her on the balcony of the town hall - I ran as fast as I could to Upper Parliament street so I could see her car go past. I got a brilliant kerbside view and then a younger woman tried to push in my place. A lovely young police woman stepped in and told her to get away from me. Mind you - if she hadn't backed off I would have punched her!!
When the Queen finally drove past I could have reached out and touched her.
Another time I saw her was when she was touring the country for her silver anniversary - sometime in the seventies. Again I lined the kerbside with thousands of people to catch a glimpse of her. I still remember she was dressed in turquoise.

Re: The Queen
My Son was in Waverley Station today after seeing the Foo Fighters band in Edinburgh last night, he said they were a lot of people waving and didn't realise who it was until someone said..Yes i saw her and Philip in our town about 14yrs ago at some celebration, their car drove slowly through the centre of the town, also i saw Prince Charles another time as i had come out of work with some friends one lunchtime to get something to eat, he was passing in a car and waved at us, we found out later he had been opening a new Works Building or something nearby..
