Queen's brooch

Posted by Nellie on July 16, 2012, 8:35 pm

I can't begin to guess what this brooch might be. Any ideas please. Queen Elizabeth II admiring flowers in the pavillion during a tour of the Chelsea Flower Show, London, 25th May 1984.

You might have too many http bits at the start. For future ref, the image number is the first sequence of numbers - in this case 142012558 - after the LAST / in the long link code. Edited: changed first to LAST --Previous Message-- : Yes, I tried that first, and got a message : saying the link contains errors. :

That gave me a black and white picture. Looks like the Queen was enjoying her visit to Chelsea, but I can't make much of the brooch even when I enlarge the photo. Thanks for the advice, though. jinja

For me, Gill's pic comes up, in a public album. See below.

Oh my goodness! That is a real reduction on a hefty price to begin with. Actually, I am begininng to understand a bit more of the large margins added to books - by distributors mainly I think. I'm not convinced that much actually gets to authors these days. --Previous Message-- : My copy of The Queen's Diamonds has finally : arrived and, by sheer chance, the shop I had : ordered it from is having a sale and I got : 30% off the price! :

Well, the Mac technician lives across the continent, so I only get direct action at holidays, but advice is generally available. He started the Mac tradition years ago when he was in elementary school and keeps the family on track. I can't claim his considerable cleverness! jinja
