the queen visits Cork
Friday, May 20th, 2011HRH Queen Elizabeth II visited Cork today. I went out to Washington street to see her pass by.

there was a good crowd, and the craic was very good.
I did see the public order and mounted units heading off sharpish at one stage, but overall there didn’t seem to be much trouble. Brilliant operation by the Gardai.
