Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
I was in the army about 1960 and was demonstrating a mobile crane at a military exhibition.
The Queen came to see us but never spoke to me, so for snubbing me that day I will not venture near Accrington when she is there. So there madam.

general opinion is that she will arrive about 1-30pm but she isn't leaving Burnley until 2pm.

Fairly sure she isn't going in to Hollins and even more convinced if other schools are being invited, they would never fit in the place
Well she'll feel like she's going backwards when she's been to the Dingle Dome Dave

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.
Live feed on the LET, apparently the Royals have arrived at Burnley.

More importantly I do not know the colour of her dress as yet, as soon as confirmation gets through Karma to be given if anyone is right!

Any last minute guesses?

Accrington town centre is just one mass of yellow Police jackets. Never seen as many even at a local derby match.

She's wearing mint green according to the Lancs Telegraph a minute or two ago.

So I reckon you win Heth. Well done.

Hope she doesn't change before she gets to Accy or we might have to ask for our karma back!

Don't forget, it's ma'am as in ham, not marm as in farm. And wait until you are spoken to. Gawd bless 'er.
