'The Queen was very approachable. I felt that if I had met her in the street she would have talked to me, or to anyone for that matter. She seemed to be very interested, and seemed to have an unspoken understanding.' Having medals pinned on, trophy awards, on a Windsor walkabout during the Diamond Jubilee, receiving an MBE at Windsor Castle, performing for the Queen's birthday, being recognised for fund raising, official openings for example of the Perpetual Park in Henley-on-Thames or the Henley Royal Regatta Headquarters, here are members of the public who have been privileged to have met the late Her Majesty the Queen. 'The Queen asked Heather about going off to Afghanistan and me about my training for the World Championships in South Korea. She finished by saying she could see our rowing careers were still going very well. It did seem like quite a long chat which I enjoyed immensely and worth every second.' - Heather Glover MBE and Heather Stanning MBE, 2013. Lots of smiles and handshaking and never-before-seen photographs of Her Majesty at work, there is a colour page portrait of each contributor, a summary of what the Queen said in one paragraph, pithy quotes and memories galore, lifechanging moments of inspiration and wonderful anecdotes from 35 contributors who have shared the Queen's company as she has brought a smile to many faces. Her personality and sense of humour shine through and there are wonderful historical facts about The Queen's Watermen or the role of Mace Bearers, the Royal British Legion or MENCAP and the differences in meaning of OBEs. CBEs, KBEs etc. Each anecdote is written with its own integrity at its heart with no frills. Our Editor Annie Quigley has her own anecdotes! A wonderful way to say Thank You to our late monarch. With golden satin page marker, colour photos, 196pp.
