Crowds turn out to welcome The Queen, despite the weather

Crowds turn out to welcome The Queen, despite the weather
The Queen at Richmond Park 15 May 2012

On Tuesday 15th May, The Queen, Prince Philip and Princess Alexandra visited Richmond Park as part of the Jubilee tour.

The crowds were welcoming unlike the weather which was truly atrocious, with every kind of rain imaginable.

Annie Murray was presented to Princes Alexandra who takes a keen interest in Bushy Park; indeed, she opened the Water Gardens after their restoration.

The Princess asked to come back to the Water Gardens for a visit in autumn to check on progress.

Apparently the Queen doesn’t mind getting her feet muddy which was just as well!
