The Queen comes to Parliament!

I am off to see the Queen in Westminster Hall this morning!  I am very excited.

She is here as part of the Jubilee Celebrations and I am sure there will be lots of patriotic applause.

UPDATE: This is a photo of Westminster Hall before the Queen's arrival.  You can just make out the rather grand chair (is it a throne?) on which she sat. 

As I took it, the thought struck me that English monarchs have been meeting subjects there for almost a thousand years.....
