    The Cork people have put our capital to shame!

    Dublin tried to construct a ring of steel around the areas where the Queen would be visiting.

    Cork constructed a ring of steel around the town of Passage West.

    I'm just imaging Lizzie back in Buckingham Palace, telling the Charlie about the visit.

    Oh I saw a factory today with computers and spacemen.

    FFS, could they not have shown her a nicer side of Cork?

    Seeing as she's been to Croker, why not go to Pairc ui Chaoimh?

    She's already acknowledged the Rebel leaders so she could have gone to Beal na mBlath and laid a wreath for Michael Collins.

    Also why does Guinness get in the limelight and not Murphy's?

    Apparently silly protesters let their black balloons go and the wind took them off in the wrong direction.

    Apparantly they're still finding it tough to get the right resources for the twins - lack of specialists, lack of funds etc. There is a book out ('Little Fighters') to try and keep raising money for their on-going needs. This is a great photo op for them to keep their profile up.

    What do you want that they be brought around on wheelchairs?

    They are old yes but not useless.

    The trip has been planned to the minute and I'm sure they have made allowances for what they are fit for.

    The poster of this clip on youtube is editing, vetting and deleting any post which does not agree with her 100%. I wonder is the irony lost on her.

    And Liz still goes horse-riding nearly every day, spends her holidays hiking around the Scottish Highlands and spends her working days walking around doing exactly what she's doing now. She's probably fitter than you or me!
