Lily - I look forward to your report also. There is plenty of nonsense around on any aspect of the royals and their lives, let alone jewels. I blame very sloppy news programmes in the media. They just don't care a jot about true or false. Just repeating anything found anywhere. I recall one of the weirdest things I read some years back was that the present Queen is numbered Queen Elizabeth II because her mother abdicated in her favour. --Previous Message-- : I'm going next Saturday and after reading this : and previous visitors posts I'm getting 'a : little' excited. My daughter works at a : major London tourist attraction and she said : that this week so many people have told her : that they were going to see the Buckingham : Palace exhibition. I was hoping that the : crowds would be diminishing as it was coming : to the end of its time, but obviously not. : I will make sure that I take as long as I : can to savour every single piece. The only : trouble is we've got quite late tickets so : they may have to throw me out if I'm not : done! : Thank you for your observations, I must make : sure that I look out for all the things : you've mentioned about fixings and : adaptations etc. : : I think it is really funny when people make : statements about things that are clearly : wrong. I had a similar experience when I : went to see the Queen's Diamond Wedding : exhibition (Five Gold Rings) a few years : ago. We were walking behind several people : who were 'knowledgeably' talking about the : jewellery and my husband poked me and said : "whatever it is they are saying, ignore : it because your face is contorting after : every sentence". Perhaps we should all : combine and offer our services as Guides!! : : :
