State Opening

[murraymints]

on telly now.no ceremonial coaches..no fancy big gown..no crown other than it being there..hat in its place.... no Ascot for Her Maj either... bit of a non event..what's she going to say I wonder ?

[murraymints]

wonder how many guns are in place ?

[albaqwerty]

can understand why there's no full pomp and ceremony.
Was hoping tho, that she'd whisk off to Ascot afterwards via helicopter.
No doubt there's loads of guns about, I take it you mean the security ? :-D

[murraymints]

yup..she might do an Olympics opening trick and climb up a rope to helicopter to get to geegees

[albaqwerty]

lol, doubt it, she's few years older now.
She might just go to Buck House, put her slippers on and have a few g&t's

[Baldric]

I was truly amazed at The Olympic ceremony, for a Woman of her age, didn't she do well?
;o)

[murraymints]

sensible..think she puts her jammies on ?

[murraymints]

Indeed Balders

[murraymints]

Philp in hossie !! oh dear..

[murraymints]

Mrs Queen could do with an arm at least.. mobility a bit dodgy looking..

[murraymints]

and what IS in that handbag ?

[murraymints]

lol...Mr Skinner pipes up to black rod "get yer skates on..first race is at half past two " lol

[emmie]

not nearly half of what she should be able to say, they have left out so much from the manifesto that this is basically a farce.

[murraymints]

agree Emmie..don't know why she has bothered to come herself...let Charles do it !

[albaqwerty]

Handbag contents :

2 hat pins, powder compact and lippy plus a smart phone.

Phil in hossie? Not good.

[emmie]

indeed they should, let Charles go through the rigmarole.

Didn't Camilla look glamorous at Ascot yesterday? Her outfit was lovely

[murraymints]

Camilla is a good egg !

[albaqwerty]

Am quite liking Camilla now, didn't see her outfit at Ascot yesterday though so can't comment.
Apparently she doesn't take a good photo but is much 'prettier' than her photos.

[emmie]

sorry don't have a soft spot for Camilla, can't forgive her or Charles with the way they treated Diana.

[woofgang]

apparently The Queen will be going to Ascot this afternoon but not Prince Phillip
