Listen: The Day My Sister met the Queen by Roslyn Dee

Via Sunday Miscellany: Roslyn Dee revisits the day her sister received an OBE from Queen Elizabeth II - listen above.

"My sister walked forward, curtseyed subtly (no need to lose the run of yourself when you're Irish) and approached the Queen who leaned forward and pinned the coral-ribboned medal on her jacket... And then they chatted. And chatted. About all sorts, apparently, including the visit to Ireland.".
