Here are some photos of Queen Elizabeth to brighten your Saturday! The British monarch, in a vibrant red ensemble, visited the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket, Suffolk, England on October 29, 2009.
As part of her visit, the Queen took a tour of the brand new visitor’s centre and was introduced to the work being done in the Cancer Centre. She also took up a spade to plant a tree on the grounds of the facility. The plaque marking the tree reads:
This Tree was
Planted in memory of
W.R. Wooldridge
Founder and First Scientific Director of
The Animal Health Trust
by
Her Majesty The Queen
Patron of The Animal Health Trust
29th October 2009
The Animal Health Trust is a veterinary charity that looks after horses, dogs and cats. The trust gives importance to research as a means of improving the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases of these animals. The focus of the charity must be close to the Queen’s heart, as she is a lover of horses and dogs, corgis in particular! She certainly brought a happy dash of color to the clinics!

Cheryl, things have been going pretty well for her family, with her grandchildren finding their niches and filling them nicely. I’m glad that the Queen finds more occasion to smile these days. She is a really lovely lady!
What lovely photos of the Queen! She seems to smile more often and more genuinely in recent years than she did in the 1980s and 90s.
