I enjoy insights into a more gracious time. <br /><br />The handwriting on the invitation gave me a deja vu moment there because my aunt and great-grandmother wrote like that - the loops, the slant... So very elegant.<br /><br />I have a vague recollection of the queen visiting Trinidad back in the sixties. I was in primary school and the children had to line the route and wave as her car passed. Can't recall seeing a thing, though. My mother also remembers something similar from her childhood when Empire Day was celebrated here.Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-26061187020808921362012-06-04T14:04:54.844+01:002012-06-04T14:04:54.844+01:00Carole Anne - Probably.

I remember the Queen coming to our town when I was about six or seven. I can vaguely remember waving a flag and seeing her pass in a big black car.

Then again in Leeds; she was passing through Headingley, on her way to Harewood House to see her cousin.
