Does anybody know if the Queen used the royal train or a regular scheduled train like she did when she left for Sandringham in December?

wbenson · #**290** 02-08-2010, 05:11 PM

It looks like a scheduled train.

And looking radiant in red. And here Russo is, half HM's age and blown out by a stupid cold. Wish I had HM's stamina!

Don't we all wish for her stamina!

Take care, Russo, and get well soon.

I hope HM is using the train service because it is an unusual treat for her personally and not because she feels obliged to do so. She has earnt her creature comforts and I don't think anyone would deny her.

Ministers ‘should hold meetings with Queen every month’ | News

Government ministers or leading civil servants should be forced to outline any economic concerns to the Queen each month to prevent a repeat of the credit crunch, it was suggested today.

A panel convened by the British Academy believes that Whitehall departments will remain vigilant to another crisis if ministers have to account for themselves to the monarch.

Is anyone able to post a link to a really clear photo where its possible to work out which brooch is being worn on this pale blue dress, please?

I do hope so for your sake, Gill. Your collection of HM's brooches is priceless...
