I reckon half these anecdotes people are telling are completely made up.
"It was the year 19 and 59, I was 15 years old and was working in a factory that made fertilizer. Unannounced, Her Majesty came on a trip around the workplace and after trying to clean ourselves as best we could we all lined up and she greeted us one by one. I told her she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. She laughed. It was a wonderful moment. I've never heard anyone laugh like that. She had a special way about her, you know. Not like people today. These snowflakes. Don't know they're born. Never fought for queen and country. She single handedly saved us from the Nazis. I'd just like to say, thank you Ma'am - we'll keep fighting for your country. Against the blacks, Irish and Scousers."
