Yes we are talking Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty opened the Diamond Light Source on the 19 October 2007 unfortunately I did not get to meet her but I did meet and shake hands with the Duke of Edinburgh.
This was the staff entrance for the day and the entrance for guests
The reception area at Luchtime for invited guests, including me
The Queen did the official opening on this dais unveiling a sculpture make buy an artiest in Residence
This is another piece of artwork done by the WI which was on show.
The dining area for guests, must admit I did feel a little out of place with the VIP's
This is the sculpture the queen unveiled on the dais seen earlier, it now stands in the Diamond House Atrium .
The Red Devils rounded the day off.

What a great experience. She is reported to be a very down to earth and easy to talk to lady. Was this the feedback that you received from colleagues?
