I think this is the one tourist place she is visiting that ive actually been to :pac:

Lady Chatterton

Mary McAleese has done a great job of promoting Irish fashion designers in the last couple of days.

hondasam

She looks better than Mary McAleese !

Cathaoirleach

The food may be poisoned, which would wipe out the Queen, the British PM, the President and the Taoiseach. I wonder what security is in place for that.

Obama will not be having a pint or eating anything here. He can only eat/drink stuff prepared by his own team.

Jaysus.. it's a public service love-in!

steddyeddy

I just saw a clip of bertie walking in the queens dinner. How can that scumbag seriously show his face on tv?

strokemyclover

HA HA HA!!! Mary McAleese had to remind the queen who Bertie Ahern was in the meet and greet! :D

Amy did not kiss the queen or philip

Bloody hell do you swing an invite to this?

I wonder if Joe Higgins is there to present her with her bill for food and lodgings?

Lady Chatterton

This reminds me of people sympathising at a funeral.

Pauleta

Sheila Barrett drove me home in Primary School when i got sick :cool:

hondasam

who are these people

Soby

Kennedy woman miss the duke ?

I hope these immensely rich people are touched by the eagerness to please displayed by the peasants of Ireland as we prepare to shoulder the full burden of British banks debt.
Let's hope we just slip back into abject poverty and that the country doesn't entirely collapse.

You can't touch royalty. You can only shake their hand if they offer their hand first.

Cool_CM

Philip just got snubbed for a handshake, would love it if they had a microphone next to him for that one!

Cantona's Collars

Meath strawberries!!! Damn them and their Meath strawberries,everyone knows that the finest strawberries come from Wexford.
I hope they choke on them,philistines.

Successful brown nosers, chancers, ne'er do wells, politicians, the rich, mates, cousins, in-laws.....collectively known as the "great and the good".

Did the queen check her purse after Bertie shook it???

I was thinking that when I was watching Christy Cooney? guiding the Queen by her elbow today in Croagh Park!

i also thought that shoulderless outfits were not respectful....I think they said that at the wedding?

It's a form of torture to make an 85 year old woman stand for so long and for no real reason. She is hardly going to remember meeting these people.

Gunsfortoys

Great day.

The elite mix with royalty and hobnob with their political connections.

There is just something so wrong about all this.
