[quote=""Ken""]6 July, 2010. Queen Elizabeth 11 visits New York for first time in 35 years. Will address the General Assembly of the UN for the first time since 1957, and will visit Ground Zero![/quote]
I was considering going into New York to see her, but we have too many things to do and, more importantly, it is supposed to be 100 F (37 C) here and New York City is very unpleasant in that kind of heat. I bet the Queen will be outdoors as little as possible.
