    I believe 1976 was the last time she presented the FA Cup (unless she's done it in the last year or three)

    The Queen never liked football, so has handed it over to others. William and Harry are fans, so would suit them. Just remembered that William is a Villa fan...gutting.

    Correct.
    After all, what's the point? When you've presented it to Southampton FC anything else is going to be a let-down.

    Whisper it quietly but I am backstage at the Mayflower with a glass of red wine and the players. Gotta go, don't ask!

    I'm sure she's been to the Millennium for something else, but I agree, it's a far better stadium than the new Wembley.

    Now in the theatre, dead centre, row C. Not even any binoculars in the seat in front of me. How am I supposed to see anything from here?;)

    Not CC, row C. I am less distance from the stage than most refs can distinguish as offside

    Just to report that James Beattie is here, as well as Tommy Doc. I was pleased he won it the following year.

    Btw, Fodder row C, central. MLT, row E, right of centre.
    Although it must be admitted that he got a nicer round of applause as he took his seat.
