Queen visits Salisbury

The Queen in Salisbury

Her Majesty The Queen visited Salisbury as part of her Diamond Jubilee tour of the South West. The city staged a free medieval celebration and thousands attended the event which was held in the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral.

The Queen and her husband The Duke of Edinburgh arrived by car just after midday. The couple had lunch in The Rifles Museum and then looked around the display tents before entering the cathedral to meet children working on a Magna Carta project.
