History Happens before our eyes.

In the last fortnight the Queen of England visited Ireland. The first time a British Monarch has visited our shores since Independence. She laid a wreath at the garden of remembrance which is a monument to all Irishmen and women who gave their lives for Independence.

Here is her speech and its well worth watching.



Forebearance and Concilliation.
Bow to the past, but not be bound by it

applause applause

I have to say I was indifferent to her coming but she is one classy Lady and the way she carried herself has gone a long way to building bridges.

Oh Yeah O'Bama was here too laugh He was going back to his roots grin

It feels good dancing

Hi Vinny,

The Irish have solved their own fuel problems. They imported 50 Million tonnes of sand from the Arabs and they're going to drill for their own oil.

I agree Graham. I read a lot of reports from Royal reporters in the UK and they expressed opinions that they have not seen the Queen smiling so much on a visit. Not sure how true it is but she seemed happy and she really turned a lot of peoples perceptions of her.

Fair play to her and huge kudos.

I'm not sure what his Royal Higness is going to do with his pressie of a hurling stick and a Sliothar though laugh If he loses the sliothar he could practise on the corgis laugh

cheers

That is a very good point bodleing !

She is a much braver person than our thugs and terrorists
who did their best to put her off coming here.

They are full of wind and public enemy No 1.

She is indeed a brave lady and it has got to be the highlight
of the year for us.

thumbs up

Your welcome tip hat

It was hugely significant the Queen paying tribute to people who fought for Irelands Independence against her country.

As she said 'Bow to the past but not be bound by it'

is feider linn be irish, i'm sure wink

i attended an irish wedding in sicily last weekend and had a lot of fun..

i was the only non-irish person among 40 irish people and was afraid not to be able to communicate well, therefore the day before the wedding i "studied" the irish/english language on youtube with O'bama and The Queen...

laugh


i'm delighted with my irish experience... yay

and...

after O'bama and The Queen...

i might visit Ireland as well
grin grin grin laugh help
