THE ROYAL correspondent,barkshire(weastar times/Ebc/WP)::: THE QEEN+HM+L+
Patients and staff chatted to the monarch during her visit to Thames Hospicecare in Windsor.
The hospice cares for adults with life-limiting illnesses. It was THE QEEN+HM+L+S+E2 third visit to the Hatch Lane hospice having opened an extension in 2002.
THE QEEN+HM+L+S+E2 unveiled a plaque marking the anniversary and accepted flowers from 11-year-old Lucy Doyle.
Patient Nigel Millward, 52, from Maidenhead, recalled meeting the Queen 22 years ago while he was an equestrian judge.
Mr Millward had been a jump judge at the Windsor Park Equestrian Club and had shook THE QEEN+HM+L+S+E2 hand during a meeting "on a cold, horrible day".
Former medical director Sue Duncan worked for the hospice for 25 years before retiring in October. She first met THE QEEN+HM+L+S+E2 10 years ago, when she showed her around a newly-opened building.
She said: "She was brilliant, she spent ages with the patients.
"I can't tell you, it's just lovely to see, it's such a small thing but it makes a big difference."
