The Queen in York: A day to remember (From York Press)

• "Hmmm...mixed day. Clearly good for some- however, we thought we'd try waiting outside the Yorkshire Museum as the kids really wanted to see her. Stood for ages as she was over 1/2 hour late, then when she turned up she scootted straight in ignoring all the kids with flowers who'd be waiting for ages. The exit to the Museum Gardens was a farce- no thought had been given to the fact that everyone would be leaving at the same time and the barriers were causing real problems - after squeezing through despite someone nearly knocking the pushchair over we headed down Lendal Street to be nearly run down City of York council trucks steaming down the road to remove the barriers in the face of on-coming crowds of pedestrians- **** lucky no-one was squashed. So all in all- disappointed by the Queen (who at the end of the day has very little point if she's not going to stop and wave and talk to the children) and yet another event organisation ****-up by police/York Council... Admittedly, it may all have gone well at other points, but our experience was underwhelming in the extreme!"
