Queen Elizabeth accepting childrens bouquet

HM Queen Elizabeth accepting a bouquet from children at a ceremony at UBC (Vancouver Canada) to open a new Library there. My granddaughter's dance studio was one of the groups chosen to "dance for the Queen" that day, so we were there to watch and share the excitement. A lovely Fall day.

My grand daughter & all the participants received a special certificate to commemmorate the occasion, which her Mom had framed for her.

another nice comment, Gav, many thanks. Yes, it was a very exciting time, and your comment is correct about the certificate proving to her that it wasn't a dream, as things do seem like that as time goes by. It all does seem like so long ago now.

What a very Special occasion for your Grandaughter, and for you there to Witness the occasion. To perform for the Queen of England, wow that is as great as being there for the President of USA. Her Framed Certificate will prove to her that she wasn't dreaming. Well done.

thanks, Alex, Gary, Vicki and Carol, meant to comment earlier, - it was very exciting. We were far from where my grand daughter and her group were waiting to perform tho', but a very nice female "undercover" RCMP officer went over to Jess and showed her where I was, and I waved and she gave a little wave back, - the dancers had been told to sit very still etc., so she didn't want to be too obvious : ) Anyway, it made me feel great that she knew I was watching, as at one point we thought we weren't able to be there, but at last minute, plans changed and we made it : ) Nobody else in the family was able to be there.
