It's nice to see new pics of the Queen and Prince Philip. The last pictures I saw of her was from Dec. 25th's christmas service. I loved the color of her dress. It makes her look glowing and energetic. Maybe she is finding it really difficult to walk sometimes without the aide of that cane. But she still looks fine.

Prince Philip is 82. He was born June 10, 1921.

Also if you search through some of the older threads, there are photos of the Queen and Prince Philip during state visits, such as to Nigeria and from the USA. Hope that helps. :)

I thought this was cute:

"The Queen had the last laugh yesterday when she answered a question
about Harry Potter that had defeated a group of children at church
near Sandringham.

She chuckled when, in conversation with the Bishop of Birmingham,
the Rt Rev John Sentamu, she was able to name Professor Dumbledore
as the head teacher of Hogwarts, J K Rowling's school for wizards.


The Queen attending morning service at St Mary's church, Flitcham
"The Queen was laughing because she knew the answer and none of the
children did," said the bishop. "She said: 'Fancy the children not
knowing about Harry Potter - I knew.'"

The Queen also showed signs of recovery from her recent knee
operation. She made little use of the walking stick she carried
while attending Sunday morning service at St Mary's church in
Flitcham, near her Norfolk estate, and felt confident enough to step
on to uneven grass next to the path to chat happily to local well-
wishers and the attending clergy."

It's great to see that Queen Elizabeth is getting better after her knee surgery! (Does anyone know what they did during the suregery?) Her smile seems genuine and she looks happy and well. It's to bad her sour-puss of a husband didn't smile every once in a while, he looks like a grumpy old man!

I think this question has already been asked. Please look in two places:

1. The rest of the British forum for particular threads related to state visits

2. Any threads marked Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip News and Picture Threads. There will be pictures of any state visits past and present the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have taken.

Queen shows off Harry Potter knowledge

The Queen has outwitted a group of children with her knowledge of Harry Potter.

She surprised the Bishop of Birmingham, the Rt Rev Dr John Sentamu, by revealing she knew the answer to a question about the teenage wizard's adventures which foxed the young congregation at a service she attended.

Bishop Sentamu said after the service at St Mary's Church, Flitcham, near the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, she told him: "Fancy the children not knowing about Harry Potter. I really am surprised. I knew."
           
Bishop Sentamu, who had been invited to preach at the service, said: "Her Majesty seemed to know a lot about Harry Potter. I am quite surprised about that."

The Bishop had asked the children: "A famous professor once told one of his pupils, 'It's not our abilities or gifts which define who we are, but the choices we make'. Do any of you know who that professor was?"

The answer was Professor Dumbledore.

RE: Britters comment: Prince Philip suffers horrific pain from advanced arthritis. You need to imagine having the pain of an abcessed tooth in most of the joints of your entire body 24/7, and being over 80 years old, while carrying out more public engagements than any other Royal. He does well. And he's always been known for his bone dry sense of humor (which has gotten him into lots and lots of trouble in the 56 years he's been married and in the spot light), and a positive outlook on life. He just looks like the very old man he is.
