The Queen, subject of this week's picture set, came to Brighton on March 8th. Despite being almost 81, she still dutifully carries on her lifelong schedule of visits and tours. A sunny day out in Brighton must have been quite an easy and pleasant trip for her. But spare a thought for what this woman has had to endure over the years by way of entertainment. She must have had to sit through more ridiculous spectacles than anyone else in history, the emperors Nero and Caligula not excluded. To the Queen, the world outside her front door must seem like a perpetual version of Fame Academy. All those eager smiles. All that endless waving and cheering. No wonder she likes to come home to Prince Philip.
