*******Pics of the Queen's visit to Virginia yesterday*********
Good Grief, I do believe that the queen can't stand the Dickster



Girls give the queen flowers as she arrives at the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond.




The queen and Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, right, greet the crowd as they walk around Capitol Square in Richmond on Thursday.

The queen addressed the state's General Assembly, praising Virginia for its social changes since her 1957 visit. Then, the 350th anniversary of Jamestown was an all-white affair and the state was in open defiance of a 1954 Supreme Court order to desegregate public schools.



Watkins is a volunteer on one of the ships at the Jamestown settlement, which includes replicas of the historic structures as well as an archaeological museum.



Watkins estimated that thousands of people showed up to see the Queen. She was escorted on her tour by Vice President Dick Cheney.



Queen Elizabeth II meets students and alumni from William & Mary, again escorted by Nichol. According to the school's Web site, the queen was made an honorary member of the class of 2007 during her visit.



Nothing but smiles for the kids, nothing but sneers for Darth Cheney

10. She won't even look at him.
Very telling!

I have to say, I love her outfits. Nice that she got to see the Kentucky Derby, but how sad that she has to put up with Dick and Dubya now. Bet she can't wait to get back home.

3. Quite a contrast!
Boy, she really does seem to be sincerely smiling at and enjoying the kids but what a difference when she's with Ol' Dead-eye!

She's no fool. :toast:

She does look a little annoyed with Cheney. :) It must have killed him to call her Your Majesty. I wonder if he even have her the courtesy.
