Most unusual for Her Majesty not to attend the return banquet of the her Government's guest.
I guess at her age she has a right to bow out of all the ceremonials.After all she knows the interior of Winfield House better than President Trump.

Where is the guest list?
At her age, after a big night last night, I think the queen may be excused.
She's old enough to know that if one's host doesn't drink, the party isn't going to be much fun.

Lol. She is partial to a tincture but the Ambassadeur did lay on some Californian grapes.
Perhaps she was afraid of running into the ghost of Joseph P. Kennedy roaming around the halls:)

No chance Joseph Kennedy( the cowardly appeasnick)had his ambassadeur's residence aross the other side of London in Chelsea.
My father,a London copper,had to stand guard outside his residence during the war.When the sirens went off Joe Kennedy was out the door and into his basemeny shelter faster than Leroy on a rocket. His parting words to the officer on his front door was, "Now you make sure I don't get visited by looters while I'm away. I'll have that uniform off your back"
Father detested the Kennedy's
I have to say that I like Melania's red frock. Very nice. :-)
Yes, Retro, I knew that I was taking a little historical and geographical license in my post:) Interesting story about you father.

Chalk and cheese here.
The old man was transferred from Chelsea (B Division) to West End Central (C Division) in the middle of the war.
Sir Winston Spencer Churchill would often entertain his chiefs of staff and Ladies at Claridges hotel.
My Father would find himself guarding the front door from time to time.
My Dad remarked that the Savoy and Claridges had quite deep basement shelters equipped with bars so the guests could carry on drinking when a air raid occurred.
The Prime Minister never bothered going deep but came out the front with cigar and Brandy glass in hand and scan the sky and chat to the duty copper on the front door.
The only time I ever saw my father wear his medals on his police uniform was the day he was on duty at Sir Winston Churchill's Funeral. He respected that man.
I'm not surprised she didnt go. I know this sort of thing is her job and all that but she is really knocking on a bit now and two days on the trot would be too much (even if there were not Trotts present :0))
One night with Trump!

I'd want a month off duties.
Didn't like Melania's dress......in fact bloody awful.
I am a great admirer of her couture and she often wears those cape-like dresses.
You got it wrong last night Madame President.
A dinner with Trump would never be dull.He must have loads of interesting stories.

Wonder how good his jokes are...
That's actually a really good pic. of Trump and Teresa May. I don't like Melania's dress.
jesus retro
some social history there

Kennedy wasnt an appeasnick - like Trump he mad e a commercial decision and came down o n the side of the germans
His reports were so discordant ( wasnt one - whilst England Slept?) that FDR sent Col Hoosit to find out who was right ?

My father treated Doug Bader and in the end said he wasbt English, some english doctor could do it .....

oh Sqad I didnt realise you were a cross-dresser !
ter daah !
PP....absolutely....at the weekend they call me Sandra.
I still say that it was a nice frock. On me it would have looked different - I am twice her size, half her height and, maybe, twice her age.
And less plastic ?
Dear Sandra, I know that I am taking a liberty calling you Sandra on a Wednesday,just to say that it’s time to get back on th the thinking of Mikey post,some are going over the top,for example. His goodness shone through in his words,dearie me
