We were right behind the Royal Yacht at Whale Island on HMS Ulster/Rame Head and the skipper was permanently pissed and no matter what trade you were you did duty QM
And when she sailed you would have to Piper her.
We were basically a bunch of pirates so God knows what she thought of us

Anybody else struggle to say the thread title not in football song mode?

She came to UCL to open something or other. The royal car reversed into a bollard right in front of me whilst leaving the quadrangle. Lucky it was there really. All forgiven now though.

I was there too! Remember the reversing incident clearly.

I have seen HMQ at a Buckingham Palace Garden Party and a service at St Paul’s for the Cathedral’s 300th anniversary.

Hang on, do you mean THE Queen, or A queen? If you mean the latter then St.James' Street is crawling with them...

Back in July 1993, the Gulls Eye team had our annual outing to Ascot, god knows how Mr Kennard and I ended up in Corporate Hospitality, had a few, went to the Winners Enclosure to congratulate Sheik Mohammed and Opera House, turned round there she was standing in front of me, protocol went out of the window and I shook her hand, all captured on the BBC Grandstand Cameras.

Unfortunately a media shit storm followed, but I wrote Dear Old Liz a letter of apology and she wrote back, via her equerry, from the Royal Yacht Britannia, opening up with “Her Majesty the Queen was touched by the time and trouble you took to write to her to apologise” ❤️

Clearly shouldn’t have done it but glad I did.

Bloody Name Dropper, Her Maj only asked me if I had had to come very far to be at Buck House... :lolol:
