Queen spent the morning at the Royal Albert Hall

[mouse]

Still sprightly... even if the BBC thinks she's dead: The Queen is all smiles as she cuts a cake at WI event at the Royal Albert Hall (with a little help from giggling Sophie and Anne)
The Queen spent the morning at the Royal Albert Hall where she spoke to members of the WI
Was given a hand to cut the organisation's Centenary Celebration Cake by Princess Anne
Sophie Wessex was also at the meeting, held to mark the 100th anniversary of the WI
Yesterday, a BBC producer sparked worldwide concern after tweeting that the Queen had died


The Queen was all smiles this morning as she met members of the Women's Institute and cut their Centenary Celebration Cake less than 24 hours after being declared dead by a BBC journalist.

Dressed in an elegant powder blue ensemble by couturier Stewart Parvin, the 89-year-old monarch was on sprightly form as she climbed the steps of the Royal Albert Hall for the WI's Centenary Annual Meeting.

Unusually, Her Majesty was joined for the day by her daughter Princess Anne, 64, and daughter-in-law Sophie, Countess of Wessex, 50, who looked ravishing in white

this is what we watched yesterday on a live feed from the Albert Hall
it was the queen at her best.. humerous chatty and absolutely relaxed
the winner of the Denman cup[read article] nearly knocked queens hat off as she lifted the cup
the four year old just didn't wanted to present the flowers much to every ones amusement and sympathy ..had a face on her that only an unwilling four year old can put on
wet flower stems visibly wet the queens dress..but who cared..then every one sang Jeruselem..[including our very off key mob at home]
and the the three royals were giggly..and we watching were in stiiches and making our own comments
Janic hosting the event started off nervously and there was a distinct blip of microphones but got into her stride with a good speech and lots of humour and her speech paper lost its tremour
the sound from the streaming we were watching developed and echo ..but our leader texted us from the event and said the day had been a rousing success..with every one appearing to enjoy them selves
describing the out fits and hats as ranging from the elegent and fabulous thright through the spectrum to the appalling ""who buys a dress like that""eughgh
hats had disappeared by the time lunch was over
here the day was hot hot and we lunched in friends garden...on keishe? salad.. egg butties and pate and cheese...savoury tarts with scones strawberries and clotted cream to follow
it was all in all a lovely day..good company..fine food and great views to look at as we ate..the sun shone
could any one ask for more...

Sounds like a lovely day, Mouse, and almost as close as being there. All the best to her Majesty and court and all your friends.

Thank you for sharing.

our members who went to the garden party had a great day too...along with the other thousands 8,000 I think the numbers were
Camilla was hosting along with Sophie countess of Wessex.. the Duchess of Glouster and Princess Alexandra who is the pit of her mother the late Duchess of Kent..P.A isn't seen around very much these days as I think she has been ill...if I have time later I have a couple of photos of our member in her hat and a couple of pics she lifted from the BBC site
our member said after the garden party her son met her out side Buckingham palace..asd there were some ladies from stafordshire,,who broke into a rendering of Jeruselem[W.I. anthem] and gradually the women around all joined in...leaving various Japanese/Chinese tourists looking very bemused to see these very elegant dressed up ladies with their large hats burst into song
it was by all accounts a very successful day
