Um. Helen Mirren is 85? Really or was that a mistake? If she is then I can only hope to look like that at that age. She looks fabulous. As for the evening, it looks like everyone had a splendid time. It's nice to see the Queen with catherine. Interesting.

Well that sounds better. The caption under the ITN video states that she is 85. Thanks for the answer.

Prince William described her as 'an extremely talented British actress who I should probably call granny' following her film portrayal of Her Majesty.
Now, it appears Dame Helen Mirren has had words with the real Queen about the moment the Duke of Cambridge presented her with an honorary fellowship award at the BAFTAs last night.
The elegant actress, who could be seen wagging her finger at the head of state, was among around 250 stars to be introduced to members of the royal family personally at a glittering Buckingham Palace this evening.
Speaking about being introduced to Her Majesty, she said: 'You're thinking "its the Queen it's the Queen"' - and when asked if she still got starstruck, she replied: 'Of course, even more so I think because I feel self conscious, you know.'

The Queen, Philip, Charles, Camilla, Edward and Sophie will attend the Commonwealth Observance in Westminster Abbey on March 10. It's the Earl of Wessex's 50th birthday on March 10 so a big day for Edward and Sophie.

I have no idea but most likely. Andrew had a birthday party for his 50th did he not? Did Andrew not do an interview as well? I remember seeing Beatrice talk about him and Sarah.

Who's cousin was it? I am guessing she was the Queen's cousin. How nice for Beatrice to attend as well. They had obviously met one another at some point, but giving the age difference and not being a "close" relative, it's lovely to see the support of distant relatives. :)

She was The Queen's first cousin - a daughter of one of The Queen Mum's sisters.

Outside of the UK does any other Commonwealth country acknowledge this day in any way that ordinary people know about?
If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't have ever known this day existed. Outside of the Commonwealth Games the Commonwealth really doesn't reach the consciousness of most Aussies. It simply doesn't resonate and we don't teach anything about it in our courses at school either.
