She made a great effort during her visit to heal some of the pain between our two countries. For example, she paid a visit to Croke Park where, in 1920 Brittish forces went in and gunned down many people who were ther to to waatch a gaelic foot ball match. Of course it was a long time ago but even so, it had never be acknowledged by the Brittish. SO you can see how it was a very bit thing for the Queen to visit the stadium and leave a werath there:)<br />Because of her visit last year, I thnk there has been a change of attitudes towards the Royal family in Ireland and I am glad of it.<br />So, enjoy your tea and snippits on t,v. Long live the Queen lol!Ruth MacChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14591616568622752136noreply@blogger.com
