She looks wonderful!!! This is a lady whom any female could look up to! I LOVE the color on her, and the brooch is stunning! God bless you, HM, on your 85th birthday!
The word "mandatum" is the first word of the "Office of the washing of feet". The phrase is: mandatum novum do vobis - A new commandment I give to you....
Sadly, the footwashing part went out of fashion some time ago, but some religious groups still use it.
I'm prepped with 3 layers! I'm leaving in a minute and the Queen should be arriving in York at 10. I'll try to keep you updated but I might just be a little too excited! With definitely take thousands of pictures!... I hope also that Lumutqueen is prepped and ready to go, hopefully with a good thick coat, it's seriously cold all of a sudden.
How lovely that the Queen was accompanied by Beatrice ( who looks wonderful). Is there a particular reason for her accompanying the Queen on this occasion?
