The Anonymous Widower

What Happened When The Torch Relay Went Into Windsor Castle To Meet The Queen

It rained of course. And heavily too. this was taken from the BBC’s text commentary.

 Gina is then taken to meet the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. After curtseying she says: “It’s English weather isn’t it. You can’t do anything about it.”

To which the Queen, dressed wisely in a camel overcoat, responds: “No nothing.” She then breaks into a wide smile and later enquires of the torch: “What keeps it going?”

The Duke of Edinburgh then seemed to test the weight of the torch before asking Gina, “Are you going to take it home?”

So it seems the Queen may be fed up with the weather too!

Aren’t we all?
