Queen will make visit to ground zero

[TRUTH]

AS the Queen marked the official occasion of her 80th birthday with a day of pageantry, it emerged yesterday that a far more sombre engagement is also being planned for her — a visit to ground zero in New York.

Whitehall sources said that early discussions were under way for a royal tour of America next year, which would include the site of the World Trade Center, where 67 Britons were among 2,752 victims on September 11, 2001.

Meanwhile, the annual ritual of Trooping the Colour was given a number of twists yesterday, including a celebratory series of rolling volleys fired by the Guards in front of Buckingham Palace. Prince Harry was accompanying his grandmother to the ceremonies for the first time in dress uniform as a cornet in the Blues and Royals.

Celebrations of the Queen’s 80th will culminate next weekend in a giant children’s party at Buckingham Palace.

If the Queen visits the site of the World Trade Center, she will follow the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke of York, in addition to Tony Blair and other senior politicians, who have already paid tribute there.
