Not quite. I saw the Queen and Prince Phillip ride by in an open-air volkswagen or something in 1967. The Queen Mother stayed back in the hotel as she thought having a cup of tea in her room would be much more interesting than seeing millions of colonials in Toronto blocking her view of the squirrels and pigeons.

She might have been thinking it was still Muddy York with no sewers and unpaved roads. A bit like Udon, perhaps, 40 years ago.

Snorkling gin more like. She did like her tipple.

Lost count of the times we would see the Royals when dad was the policeman at Aboyne. The Windsor's were frequent travelers between Abedeen Dyce airport and Balmoral.

Later, saw Prince Charles a few times while he attended Gordonstoun and my dad was a rozzer in Elgin.
