I suppose though with the added security they wouldn't let people take cameras into the church.

Security is always high for HM. Every person who applies or is invited, has not only their name checked, but parents and all other known and alleged friends and relatives. I think our security services do a great job, checking, rechecking and cross checking the seemingly endless lists of names. :flowers:

What a stunning outfit on Her Majesty.
Thank you every so much for the articles and the pictures. 107 wow what a woman!
Maybe a silly question but does Maundy Service happy in different churches every year?

Yes, lumut. Traditionally, it used to be taken place in London, but early in her reign, Her Majesty has decided that it should be taken place at different cathedrals, or abbeys each year.

I attended the Royal Maundy service at Liverpool Cathedral in 2004 and I correctly guessed that HM would wear purple.

Wonder what colour outfit The Queen will wear tomorrow in Derby, and which brooch. Eagerly awaiting photos of this event.

I am more interested in what the service represents than what she wears. The religious significance far outweighs the superficial clothing been worn by the individual.

I just love the last set of pictures where the Queen drops her program and the little girl picks it up for her and hands it back! Absolutely priceless...

Well, superficial little ol' me thought HM looked just wonderful. And with the little girl, an absolute joy. Thanks everyone for the pics.
 
Yes, superficial me thought she looked fab too - I like it when she doesn't just have one colour on, that can look a bit too 'blocked', ths black accents look really nice. And the pics of the little girl retrieving her programme are lovely.
 
I thought the girl picking up the Queen's program was very sweet. In the same picture, I think that the priest to the left of the Queen looks a bit like Dawn French as The Vicar of Dibley.

For once, the TV news where I live actually showed a small portion of the service, which was a nice change.
 
The Queen is a amazing women for her age and she dresses so well. I believe that she is going to live along time
 
I love that picking up sequence. :wub:
Very nice dress and brooch. :flowers:

We in the United Kingdom certainly wish her a long life. She is a consummate politician without the party politics! And the alternatives aren't particularly pleasing.....
 
What a quaint and lovely tradition.
 
Every year at Easter The Queen presents special 'Maundy money' to local pensioners in a UK cathedral or abbey.

The presentation takes place on Maundy Thursday in recognition of the service of elderly people to their community and their church.

This year the Maundy Service will take place at Westminster Abbey on 21 April 2011.

A rare public appearance for the Queen on her actual birthday. She usually spends that day quietly with her family.
