Csaba, her arrival outfit was designed by an Irish designer π
Pete, yes! both the Queen and the Prince left the 'perfect pint' on the counter. However an attending Priest took advantage and took a few mouthfuls π I imagine the Head Brewer that pulled the pint will preserve the remained somehow as he was delighted that he managed to 'pull a pint' for QE II Now his claim to fame:D
Daniel, yes her visit has great significance here in Ireland. Whether we (Irish) like it or not, we are closely linked with the UK and likewise the UK with us. There has always been free flow between the two countries, even prior to the EU. I was born there and have dual nationality having Irish born parents.
This event is the final step in the Good Friday Agreement which has brought peace to Northern Ireland after may years of strife and loss of life. Hopefully the remainder of the visit will go well and we move on to better times.
