I must say, Accrington did look rather magnificant on the television's coverage.

We are lucky, having such fine buildings as the Town and Market Halls, and the rare bit of sunshine we experienced yesterday helped set them off beautifully.

Would it mean something like "Larking about" or perhaps "Malarking about" - that means messing about doesn't it?

One for the Old Local Expressions thread i think...

Looked on SKY yesterday but it wasn't mentioned or shown -shame. So the only pics I've seen are the ones on here - not being able to see the BBC on TV or the web

Nice green outfit though and the Town hall looked amazingly clean on the photos! Most of the local yokels were dressed down though as far as i can tell. No-one wearing hats either except Her Maj, I do like the chance to wear a hat Unless, of course,some of the local "VIP's" made an effort.

Di this young lady from the Lancs Telegraph posted some photos on twitter

I agree a remarkable lack of dressing up on the part of the crowd but then people don't these days do they? I like the chance to wear a hat too but don't think I would do in that sort of crowd unless it were a woolly one to keep my ears warm!

Thankyou. It wasn't easy to get good photos. The less clear ones are from moving footage I took.

Oh I don't know Mo, there doesn't seem to be as many "trackies" as you'd expect, looks like they made the effort & put jeans on.

I didn't see her in Accrington, but went with work to the Turf to see her (much to my husbands discuss, he's a rovers supporter). Had a brilliant day, the atmosphere was amazing. But have found this regarding the Queen in Accrington on you tube, hope i have managed to put the link on correct.
