HRH The Queen Mum's home

[cmartin_ok]

I mentioned elsewhere that I have been away from the forum too long.
Whilst absent I had the rare opportunity to visit the Castle of Mey, the late Queen Mother's home in Scotland
http://www.castleofmey.org.uk/
which is in rather a remote location near to John O'Groats (and it wasn't a charity event that took me there).
On the guided tour I was pleased to find that on display in one of the lounges was "Songs for Swinging Sellers" which was apparently one of the Queen Mum's favourite albums. I was able to inform the tour guide that "Fred Flange" was in fact Matt Monro, something that the staff there were unaware of.

Great story.......and thanks for putting the staff in the picture regarding the real Fred Flange

........also, what name can we call you on the forum as CMartin is a bit formal to use on here ...............also did you know that Karl found out that HM The Queens two favourite singers are Petula Clarke and Matt Monro

I think you're slightly downgrading her: she was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. I'm always a bit sceptical about these stories about the Queen's favourite singer/TV programme etc. Has she actually told anyone? The one about Penelope Keith being her favourite actress was suspect - the sort of thing a journalist would say just because Margot Leadbetter wss "posh".

I read a few years ago The Queen liked Abba singing Dancing Queen and said she is the Queen and she likes to dance.
Jon they are all bound to have favourite singers & actors just like us!
