Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
Live feed on the LET, apparently the Royals have arrived at Burnley.
More importantly I do not know the colour of her dress as yet, as soon as confirmation gets through Karma to be given if anyone is right! Any last minute guesses? :D |
Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
Accrington town centre is just one mass of yellow Police jackets. Never seen as many even at a local derby match.

Apparently the Queen is running late and wont be in Accy now til 15:00, should have arrived at 14:30.
Wish I could be there, me Mum has just told me that its packed in town and all up Burnley Rd with children waving thier flags at any car that passes! :D |
Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
just makes me wonder why. the view of her won't be great, you would probably get a better view if you loitered around Buck palace when an official event was on.

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
Not many people can afford to travel out of Accy though.
Might aswell see her when she is on your doorstep. :D |

Princess Margaret reportedly answered the phone at Buck House, and someone asked to speak to the Queen. To which she is supposed to have replied 'Which one?' 'My mother, my sister, or my husband?' Still, it keeps them out of mischief, as long as they don't go frightening the horses, in the Royal Mews. :D I'm an ardent republican, but I admit ol' Lillibet hasn't done much wrong in the last sixty years. Besides all the security, which follows her everywhere, I wonder how much her visit cost, weighed against the extra sausage pacifiers, that will have been sold in Greggs? Cleaning the Town Hall stonework, new carpet up the stairs, bunting, massive floral displays, which I glaced yesterday inside the Town Hall, as well as new loos for royal tinkling. Some wag once said the Queen thinks the world smells of new paint. They weren't wrong. Still, she has her bus pass. So that's one saving, as she travels up and down the country. :rolleyes::D I once sold her some hankies, Irish linen, hand rolled hem, top notch snot moppers, which were a gift for her cousin, who she was meeting for lunch in the Berkeley. Nice enough little woman. You're supposed to bill them, but of course no one ever does. Look after the pennies...and you've more pounds to bet on the horses. :rolleyes::D |
Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
With reference to Ken's fawning 'I'll always be a royalist' post.
My much loved great uncle was a local Labour councillor, and had to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace, under much duress, when he was Chairman of the old Ossy Urban District Council. He remained seated throughout the national anthem, just as he always did when it was played. That's when socialists were socialists. I did something similar, when we were all asked to stand as Princess Michael of Kent entered the concert hall at the Barbican, in the row directly in front of ours, and I was the only person to remain defiantly seated. My Uncle Joe would have been proud. :rolleyes: |

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
As I say, if you have to have a head of State, decided by accident of birth, she hasn't done a bad job.
Though millions of other women have also done a good job. With their jobs being a damned site harder graft, than simply smiling and waving. I'm sure lots of people will have enjoyed the visit. Hip, hip. Oh she's gone. .................... She'll be back though. In another sixty years. .................... We'd better start saving. We'll need new toilets in the Town Hall by then. http://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/image...nion20Jack.gif |

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
Never seen as many rozzers as there were patrolling the town at 7:15 am this morning, and the pavements in the bus station were gleaming, no chips, litter or even the traditional Accrington one-legged pigeons. Obviously lots of expense, and then it all added an extra 40 minutes to my journey home because of the fire at the Con club disrupting the bus detour route, glad this only happens once every blue moon!

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
well I ran down from work to catch a glimpse, I tried to get as near as I could to take a pic of her on the balcony but there was a very obnoxious peed up scouser who wasn't for letting people through the crowd to try & catch a glimpse. (for some reason the vid I took wont upload :( )

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
Went shopping in Aldi this afternoon, the car park was full to bursting, people driving around waiting for a space to become available.
I thought shopping will be difficult, how wrong I was, just me, the misses, and the staff in the store. Shortly after a couple more entered the store, I didn't feel so lonely then. As we were leaving the store the royal car arrived at the roundabout with all the outriders, and I got to see the back of Her Majesties hat. |

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
I like the Royal Family but I did call the queen some nasty names when I was trying unsuccessfully to get home from work because of the enormous backlog of traffic she caused, I suppose because of security and blocked off roads - I wonder if she has any idea of the chaos she leaves in her wake wherever she goes?

Anyway, I think it's really quite sweet.
When a grown man, especially in some official capacity, will publicly admit to going a bit weak at the knees, every time they're in the presence of some old queen. http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/z...s/0002047C.gif :rolleyes: |

Hated it when people turned up late and expected to barge to the front just 'so our kids can get a view'. Strictly speaking it should be the oldies at the front because they are less likely to see her again. Yeah, the pushing and shoving spoilt it for me and the selfishness of a few idiots, spitting & swearing. Plus, she wasn't here for very long, 50 mins max. Plus, was it just me or was the 'march past' a bit lack lustre? A few members of the WI and St Johns Ambulance. Well done to the Gurkhas though. Next time, if the Queen wants to see me she can come to my place. |
