BP does such a good job to pair visitors at state banquets with other guests with things in common. Query if any 43% Nigerian people might be invited?

I suspect they will revert to the pattern during most of QE2's reign: most state visits will be based at BP / London, with some at Windsor from time to tme.

It will be very nice to see another state visit taking place at Windsor Castle.

A tiny bit of me misses the processions from horse guards parade and down the mall to Buckingham Palace… But the long walk and the quadrangle makes a great substitute.

Indeed. Wonder if they could not make the Welcome Ceremony and carriage procession in the morning in London and then move to Windsor for the State Banquet.

The backdrop of the castle is simply majestic at Windsor.
