I hear you.. You had to have a special invite to stand at the rope line at The Goddard Space Flight Center to say whats up. Otherwise watching her car whiz by your school was a close as you could get! Even there I was moved back from the road when she was passing ..

Nice motorcade. Ironically, if she is travelling back home around England her car usually only has one escort vehicle and perhaps four motorcycle outriders and it took the British police years to get her to accept even those few. Apparently she complained that police outriders would "make me look like Qaddifi!" (the loony Libyan President). Having said that, if it's a traditional state event she travels in a horse drawn carriage escorted by several hundred cavalrymen - as one does :0P.

was that really the queen?

[bletchley1965]

Open your eyes people the car has the U.S flag on the left and the Royal Standard on the right, if the Queen was not in the car the Royal Standard would not be on the car.

On a state visit you would have the country you are visiting flag on the car and the country your from flag, in the Queens case this is the Royal standard.

THAT WASNT THE QUEEN!!!...it was the President of the United States...can't you tell by the UNITED STATES FLAG on the limo?!

[bletchley1965]

You can see the Royal Standard on the right of the limo.

Urm, it's not Queen of England, HM is Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Shes also Queen and head of state of the country to your north, Canada. As well as being head of state of and monarch of several other independent sovereign countries and their territories and dependencies.

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
