As I see, the Queen is picture of health. Australian PM Gillard says 'when the Queen dies Australia will become republic'. Looks like that will not happen so soon. If the Queen can digg and plant the treas during this visit.. she can manage 10 years more of a good quality life. But Gillard will not last that long. After the UK Spin Dr who sabotage our federal election and made Gillard the PM, the Queen had never been more popular in Australia than she is right now. Take a look http://new.home.tripod.com

Undoubtedly a very poignant and historic moment in Irish-British relations to see the queen of England---who is used to having others bowing before her---bowing HER head in respect and honor to the brave men and women of the IRA who fought to end British rule in Ireland.
Not surprisingly, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip handled it with dignity and graciousness

Just saw this note on an Irish site: "I was in Dublin city centre for the arrival of the Queen through the streets, and there wasn't any very positive, happy atmosphere at all!
Basically there was a huge level of indifference
- though it has to be said that probably 50% of the people north of O'Connell Bridge are clearly not Irish anyway."
