Well it'd be rude to celebrate one's Queens Diamond Jubilee time without actually meeting her right? ;-)

And here she comes! The din is so loud of cheers and excitement!

She stops to greet the town cryer, making his day! 

How lucky for her! she got to meet me! ;-)

And whoosh she was gone! ....

So... Tadaaaaah.  She visited Hitchin, North Herts on 14th June 2012 as part of Jubilee tour.  How lucky were we to be placed just in the right place?!  Where her huge Bentley was waiting at the end to collect her.  See the pic with a hand in front? that's my hand!  Somehow she really does look at people and acknowledge everyone.  Wow.  A lifelong dream to tick off my bucket list now.  very happy.  :-)
