I saw this on my Railways Of Britian site and thought it might be of interest if true.

When you are the Queen it is difficult to enjoy a day out without attracting attention. But the 82-year-old monarch did her best to blend into the crowd as she enjoyed a ride in the cab of a miniature steam train this weekend. The Queen enjoyed rare anonymity during a visit to Exbury Gardens Travelling incognito, the Queen wore a raincoat, headscarf and glasses as she took the one and a half mile trip around the grounds of a stately home in Hampshire's New Forest.

couldn`t imagine her shoveling coal somehow ;)

I wonder what the security staff were thinking and where did they hide?

Dont underestimate her ! I bet she would, but she would be wearing white gloves and using a solid silver No 8 shovel :D

You also get to pull rank and drive when you are the Queen, fair play to her.

I wonder what bacon and egg would taste like done in a # 8 solid silver shovel ?

But she was not averse to using a spanner and get oily back in the early 1940s when she was serving King and Country. Before work gave me up in 2002 we were instructed to wear latex gloves after a machine operator got Dermatitis from the machine coolant or that was the reason he gave for it. So why should she not wear gloves?
