Earlier in the week, Firebox spoke to the Queen backstage after her annual address to the parliament; pictured above is our man asking the questions.

She spoke to us enthusiastically about “economic growth, justice and constutional reform” and other things like “devolved institutions” and some sort of “Green Investment Bank”. 

But her majesty had more exciting news; for those that don’t know, 2012 marks the year of her Diamond Jubilee (25 wonderful years as Monarch). Ma’am told us “Prince Phillip and I will….take part in celebrations across the United Kingdom”.
