I forgot to say that Prince Philip didn't qualify to enter the team which will represent Britain (he was also a bit unlucky, as he missed an event while he was in Canada) at the World Pony Carriage Driving Championships, Catton Hall, 11-17 July 2005. However, he will compete as an indivudual entry.

Duke of Edinburgh Is 84

By Peter Archer, PA Court Correspondent

The Duke of Edinburgh celebrated his 84th birthday today.

Royal gun salutes were fired in his honour and Union Jacks flown from Government buildings.

He was spending the day privately with the Queen at Buckingham Palace in preparation for tomorrow’s Trooping the Colour ceremony.

Still active, the Duke carries out a busy annual schedule of official royal engagements and continues to take part in carriage driving competitions

WONDERFUL! THANK YOU ALL!
I'M DELIGHTED WITH THESE PICURES!

The Queen looks absolutely great.

In one picture the Duke is exulting, while the Queen looks disappointed, as if they weren't supporting the same team.

Who are the three women with Philip?

THE QUEEN HAS GOT A NEW UMBRELLA!

Queen travels north for Ascot races Tuesday, 14 June 2005

The Queen will be on unfamiliar turf at the start of Royal Ascot this year as it is being held at York races for the first time.

The royal race meeting has never taken place anywhere but Ascot, a short gallop from Windsor Castle.

But redevelopment of the Berkshire course, which is owned by the Crown, has meant Royal Ascot is this year a northern affair.

It seems that some regular racegoers are less than enthusiastic about making the trip to York.

For those who prefer the south, there is even a fake Royal Ascot beamed live from York where punters can parade in their finery, sip Pimms, place bets and pretend nothing has changed.

A highlight in the royal calendar and social season, the annual race meeting is a great British sporting occasion.

It mixes top horse-racing with extravagant hats, cocktails, champagne, smoked salmon, strawberries and cream, and the unreliable English summer.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh usually attend every day of the week-long meeting which begins each afternoon with a royal carriage procession.
