The Queen of England made a little trip to Cambridge today, to open up a new maths department at the university.

Several of my friends had finished their exams already, and so decided to head down and try and catch a glimpse.

They joined the crowds outside the department and watched as the Queen wandered down and made her way inside. There was a heavy police presence and a large number of people wanting to see her too. They pushed their way to the front and waited...

Now, they realised that the Queen was going to be walking along the crowd barrier, meeting and greeting once she'd finished inside. One of my friends decided he was going to present her with some flowers to show his appreciation, so he legged it into the town centre to see what he could acquire.

Evidently there wasn't much on offer. He eventually returned with some dried and wilted flowers that he had stolen from a front garden somewhere. With nothing to contain them in, he vaguely wrapped tissue paper from his bag around the stems:

The flowers
(Apparently, the camera does the flowers a lot of favours. They really were quite wilted...)

So the Queen duly makes her way along the crowd, eventually arriving at my friends (having had no flowers offered to her so far...). At this point, James thrusts his pathetic bouquet towards her. She obviously doesn't really want to accept them, and pauses for a while with a strange grin on her face but, not meaning to be rude, she ends up taking them...

Mission accomplished

And off she went, holding onto the bunch the whole way :D

I say, well done James! 

HA! thats hilarious.......

stupid flowers.. 

In the US, if someone tried to give the president flowers, there would instantly be like 13 Secret Service agents gang-raping the poor shmuck.

ESPECIALLY if the guy was cute. 

Those are Charlie Brown flowers if I ever saw them. He should have said "Here. May these always remind you of your uterus." 

+10 dangerboy,
the queen's hawt. 

Also, the Queen waved at me in Edmonton a couple of weeks ago. 

Stupid Winnipeg built a new bridge for the Queen's visit a couple years back.

Taxes sky-rocketed for a stupid hour-long visit.

Get off our money, bitch.

Those flowers kick ass, why should a woman who has absolute control over a commonwealth and empire not be impressed by them?
