The Queen In Manchester Today

[Barsel]

I'm pleased the Queen has come to Manchester today. I think it will bring a little cheer to the survivors of the blast.

Whilst I (sort of) understand where Sqad is coming from I'm fairly certain that in the circumstances the order and brief of the day would have been 'as you were ladies and gents, as you were'......

[Sqad]

Well there you go hc......we have different opinions on this.

[anneasquith]

People did not doff their caps in the Queens presence ,yikes.

Sqad...its unlikely that we shall ever meet, as I don't go abroad any more but if I ever do, I shall, stand up, bow AND curtsy !

[agchristie]

Yes, I'm sure meeting the Queen, albeit in these circumstances, was very uplifting.

Goodness me, how can anyone get het up about protocol when commenting on someone sitting next to their child/relative in a hospital bed following an atrocity?

Time to get some perspective perhaps?

[mikey4444]

Agree 100% Eccles !

EcclesCake, I agree with you - and I'd hazard a guess the queen would too.
