The general talk of the crowd was about when and where they may have seen her before, how wonderful she is and how much they actually love the royals. Made me wonder just how many of them actually know just how much her visit is hitting their own pockets. I thought of raising the question with a few around me, but after witnessing one incident of people being accused of "pushing in" in front of others, and some not so nice words being exchanged, I decided to keep my thoughts to myself...!
Her visit was rather swift, arriving amidst police motobikes and security cars and she was quickly ushered from her car into the building without even a glance towards her "loyal followers", who had queued for hours to see her. The party departed an hour and half later, once again she slipped into the car which was parked across the doorway, and driven away surrounded by her security entourage and managed a little wave here and there through the car window.
Well, I have now satisfied my curiousity with the royal family and I'm afraid I am not impressed; standing on the cobbles for 5 hours just to catch a glimpse of the wealthiest woman in the world, who is not really interested in acknowledging her "people", is not my idea of fun.
See photos below that I managed to catch quickly as it all happened.

| Awaiting her arrival |
Last minute preparations
At last, she is here
Not too impressed, it seems that the Queen did not want to mingle
Wonder what she was looking at here ?
Back in the car, on her way back to Leeds/Bradford Airpot
