I just saw the Queen of England

[TrogL]

Twice, actually.

She wore pink.

I'm not sure what the cow thought about it all.

1. Nothing is more important than the red wheel-barrow

n/t

[TrogL]

3. No, really.

I was about 30 feet away from her the first time and further down the hill I was about 20 feet away.

Some 4-H kids brought a cow - probably as a photo op for "Alberta Beef".

2. I made eye contact with the King of Sweden.

My girlfriend and I were walking along the street on Gamla Stan when his motorcade came racing along. As I looked into the back of the limo, the king looked back at me, and it was if I could read his thoughts: What are these freaks doing on my island?

4. I saw Lon Chaney Jr. WALKING with the Queen,

doin' the Werewolves of London!

:smoke:

[cestpaspossible]

6. Did he have a Chinese menu in his hand?

[Arugula Latte]

7. AAHHOOOoooooooooo

Werewolves of London...

5. that is neat

I've gotta get out more I swear.

Afterwards she walked down the back steps of the Legislature and down the hill. I saw her near the top and then circled around the crowd and saw her again about half way to the bottom.

She says "hi".

9. Technically, you saw the Queen of Canada

It's her predominant title when she's here.

[tjwmason]

12. I was about to say that

Beat me to it grrs.

ALso she's not the Queen of EngLand, there hasn't been a King or Queen of EngLand since 1707. When she's over here she's Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IreLand.

Did you know that once she traveLLed to the U.S. as Queen of Canada (rather than of the U.K.)?

[yvr girl]

13. Really?

Was that in the 60's? Something to do with the St. Lawrence?

[tjwmason]

15. I can't remeber aLL of the detaiLs

She was visiting Canada, and pottered across the border for a few days; the government ministers who accompanied her were Canadian rather than British.

[yvr girl]

16. If I was ambitious I'd look up when the seaway was opened

Alas, I'm not that motivated.

[billyskank]

17. In fact she's Queen of all the Commonwealth.

[tjwmason]

18. Not since India became a repubLic

She is head of the CommonweaLth, and is the Queen of a shade under haLf of the countries of the CommonweaLth.

She takes the titLe of the one which she is in at any particuLar moment - thus she is currentLy Queen of Canada.

[billyskank]

19. I stand corrected.

[MisterP]

10. Think of lovely Queenie, / She'll be thinking of you.

[Ivan Sputnik]

11. I imagine she's a pretty nice girl

but she doesn't have a lot to say.

[CubsFan1982]

14. Did you offer her pie?

:D
