Queen's Opening Speech at the Commonwealth Law Conference

You will forgive my erratic posts on the now concluded Commonwealth Law Conference, which I am churning out every now and then, in nothing approaching chronological order.

The Queen's opening speech at the conference can be found HERE

Memorable Quote:

We come together for this conference one day after the 4th anniversary of 11th September. Nothing shows more our ability to withstand the threats of terrorists than the fact that you arrive in a country on 12th September where, beyond argument, the most gripping preoccupation of the English and other major Commonwealth partners is whether England will, after twenty years, recover the ashes.

Surely, the host country could not have been one of the major commonwealth partners therein referred to!
Most Kenyans wouldn't have a clue why a fully grown man would be kissing that little toy-looking thing!
But evidently mentalacrobatics is one of the few!
