The Queen Does Good For the Animals

I have a soft spot for Queen Elizabeth. Maybe it’s her love for corgis. The herding dogs she has at her country estate. Anyone that loves corgis is good with me.

Anyways, the Queen made an appearance at the Newmarket Animal Health Trust on Thursday.

THE Queen was in the area today visiting an animal charity she has supported for 50 years.

Her Majesty’s visit to the Animal Health Trust at Kentford, near Newmarket, marked half a century as patron of the trust, which receives no direct government funding.

Supporters of the trust were among the invited guests together with civic and community leaders.

The Queen was shown the new visitors’ centre as well as a presentation on the work of the trust’s cancer centre.

She was also told about work by the trust’s experts to find a vaccine for strangles, the potentially-fatal disease which affects horses.

She previously visited the trust 15 years ago.

But today’s visit came almost a year after she made a private visit to the Newmarket area to view new facilities at Rossdales vets’ horse hospital at Exning where some of her horses are treated.

The Queen planted a tree at the event as well.

I do have to say though, that those kids are poorly dressed to meet the queen. Put some effort into it! She’s the QUEEN!
