Re: Queen Elizabeth Kicks Off Summer Vacation at Balmoral

I'm certain I'm not up on the Queen's glove etiquette, but I thought she wore white gloves in the summer and black in other seasons.  Surprised to see the black today.

Obviously the Queen and I have a completely different outlook on a vacation wardrobe.  LOL

 

She looks great, as usual.  The guardsmen look pretty great too!

I'm always amazed that the Queen is as sure-footed as she is but then think of her mother who died at the age of 101 (maybe 103???) who only used a wheelchair in her last few years!!

That guy made my jaw drop.  Haven't seen anything better than that in a long time.

QEII would never wear her Balmoral riding and comfort wear for a ceremony, so of course she's dressed up for the public arrival.  I love the beautiful smile and tender touch she's giving the horse. It's clear that she loves the equine and according to UK publication Majesty Magazine she still rides.  Long live the Queen!

Balmoral seems to be such a beautiful place.  Unfortunately, my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail.  There’s always next year.

She looks lovely and quite cool to me.  After just hearing a few minutes ago that we would be at 97 with heat index of 106 today it is nice to see someone looking coolish.
