Fiona meets the Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh
May 18, 2011
Fiona was part of a select group of people who met Queen Elizabeth II in the Guinness Storehouse on May 17th 2011. Only 60 people were invited.
Fiona arrived at the Storehouse for 8:00 am for breakfast and at 9:30 am the invitees were directed to the Gravity Bar in preparation of the Queen’s arrival. At 10:30 am (on the button) the Queen arrived at Gravity Bar and was introduced to everyone. Fergal Murray, Guinness Master Brewer expertly pulled the Perfect Pint for the Queen & Duke.
Fiona was very impressed with how engaged and friendly the Queen and Duke were. They spent a time speaking to all the tourism representatives. William Hague, Foreign Minister, who spoke at the Inaugural meeting of the Irish British Chamber of Commerce yesterday, mentioned how important it is that Ireland and Great Britain work together.
Everyone present was delighted how the visit went and remarked how friendly and interested the Royal couple were!
Congratulations to the Guinness Storehouse on a wonderful morning.
