Queen of England II. Elizabeth visited the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show. The 96-year-old queen was driven around in a car at the floral gardens. Buckingham Palace said in a statement that “arrangements have been made for the Queen’s comfort”.
Queen Elizabeth toured the area, visiting 10 different gardens, while other members of the royal family visited the show with the queen before it opened to the public on Tuesday.
A large monument made of flowers for Queen Elizabeth, who will celebrate her 70th year on the throne this year, was also exhibited at the show. Called the Platinum Jubilee, the monument was built by placing European Lily-of-the-valley, one of the queen’s favorite flowers, in 70 earthen pots and various English tree branches tied together.
Celebrations will be held across the country for 4 days next week for Queen Elizabeth, who has the title of the longest reigning monarch of England.
