the Royal Family of an event that might not be covered outside of the UK The Queen made a surprise visit and unexpected, given her mobility problems of late, to attend the opening of a new underground line named in her honour today. She was also given and oyster card and shown how to use the machines. LINKShe looks radiant in yellow. ETA sorry about the size of the images but I don't know how to make them smaller!   |

I love her hat. The pictures of her attending the horse show on Sunday were wonderful too. Her smile was just huge, you could tell she was enjoying herself immensely.

It’s lovely to see her attending events again 😊
Did you hear Omid joke on Sunday at the horse show about “Thank you for choosing us over the opening of parliament” 😊

She looks lovely in yellow! It’s so nice to see her out and about again. She truly is amazing.
Anytime we travel overseas we love to use public transportation, but we always seem to have trouble figuring out how those ticket machines work. We usually have to find a kind stranger to help us. We’ll know to look for the Queen if we have any trouble in London. 😁😁😁

So wonderful to see her out and in good spirits! That yellow is a great color on her. It’s lovely to see her attending events again 😊 Did you hear Omid joke on Sunday at the horse show about “Thank you for choosing us over the opening of parliament” 😊 I forwarded the photos of her at the Royal Windsor Horse Show to DD (also a rider) and noted that she skipped the Opening of Parliment, but made it to the horse show. Her love of horses really came through in the happiness on her face. |

The horsemanship of some of them , well all of them really. was absolutely amazing. |

It's as mart card that is pre loaded and you tap it as you go through the barrier and tap it again on your way out. Much cheaper than buying single/weekly tickets for each journey. Here's the link for future reference. LINK |

She looks WAY more vibrant than recent pix I've seen of Charles.

but made it to the horse show. I think it helped that it was almost in her back garden (at Windsor) so she didn't have far to go  |

Charles has a lot on his mind right now preparing to take over for his mom in the not too distant future. However, that also means that for him to takeover, she will have passed. Can't even imagine the mental weight of all that. |

Can't even imagine the mental weight of all that. Very true. I often think about that. Although it was well before my time but can you imagine what the Queen herself went through at the tender age of 25 as a mother to two young children. To face the loss of her father at a relatively young age for him and for her but to also have to take on the responsibility of a Head of State. not only of the UK but a much larger commonwealth than we have now. A daunting prospect for Prince Charles but for her it must have been an enormous responsibility to have to take on. My mum mentioned that once that it's a double edged sword. The country grieves the Monarch we have lost but you are also celebrating the new one. |

I love the rainbow pic of her outfits! |
