During a reception at Buckingham Palace for some 400 influential British Indians, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II greeted Atul Patel by glancing at his name tag and saying: "There's a lot of your family in tonight."

From:   www.afp.com
Queen Elizabeth II watched for the first time Monday as her staff began the annual job of counting her swans. The Seigneur Of The Swans -- as she is known during the historic Swan Upping ceremony -- sailed up the River Thames on a steamer to observe cygnets being weighed and measured. The 83-year-old monarch, on the throne since 1952, owns all unmarked mute swans in open water, but had never watched the traditional custom before.
