The Queen in Talinn

Queen Elizabeth and Phillip have been in Tallinn yesterday and today. There was a big public reception for her in the Town Hall Square earlier today. I went along to see, and surprisingly so did a few thousand Estonians! The crowd was so big that I didn't manage to get a photo of here. She didn't say anything today, but they played part of her speech on the news here last night and I must say she spoke really well. Some insightful comments about Estonia.



You can see the show they put on for the queen in the picture on the right. By the time she arrived the whole square had filled and they stopped letting people in. They did have a concert on which I'm sure attracted lots of people, but it was clear to see that the Queen is fairly popular in Estonia.
