I was leafing through a biography of Lord Mountbatten today and  
spotted a photo of Himself attempting to give photography pointers to  
the Queen.  The MGB in the background had those awful early 1970s  
steel wheels of that era.  The caption noted that Mountbatten was  
hardly endowed with photography skills, and Herself seems to be  
politely enduring his counsel on using a 110 point and shoot.   
Decorum aside, the Queen did have one of her chrome  M Leicas round  
her neck with its' neveready case open.

Class always shows.
