I'm not a particularly strong Royalist, but I have been very impressed this week by the way the Queen has handled the visit to Ireland.

She is, after all, a very old lady who should be sitting with her feet up knitting booties for her grandson's inevitable forthcoming happy event.

Instead, she drags herself and her 90 year old hubby off on a 4 day tour of a place where any Tom Dick or Paddy could take a pot shot at her. She has done it with a lot of grace and charm, and as a result has built many many bridges for the future. The Irish people have clearly appreciated what she has done, and have taken to her.

As an English person with more than a little Irish blood inside me, I have found the whole trip uplifting!

Well Done, Lizzie!
