Newsflash! Queen Elizabeth in surprise visit to China

Fresh from the Chelsea Flower Show, Queen Elizabeth*, our favourite ambassador for the United Kingdom, broke away from preparations for the Diamond Jubilee and made a quick visit to Shanghai!

Her Majesty invited Chinese well-wishers to Visit Britain and join in with the celebrations for the Diamond Jubilee, Olympics and Paralympic Games.

British Airways staff served tea, cakes and sandwiches and The Beatles (in tribute band form) provided the music for this right royal knees-up!

* Alright, alright, it’s not the real Queen Elizabeth, just an excellent lookalike. Thanks to Visit Britain for this ace image.
