Maj Of The Day

Football - Arsenal got the royal seal of approval when they attended a reception with The Queen at Buckingham Palace yesterday. Her Majesty was forced to cancel a trip to see the club's new Emirates Stadium four months ago because of a bad back. Rumours that there was nothing wrong with her and she simply couldn't be arsed, have remained unconfirmed. Arsenal skipper Nigel Tufnell said: "It was a major honour to come here and meet the Queen and have a look around her gaff. She's got some really nice pictures on the wall and she wore this nice buttoned jacket which was a sort of turquoise colour which I couldn't help noticing would go well with the beige curtains in my living room. When I go home, I'm going to say to my little girl that I've been to Buckingham Palace with Theo Walcott. When she hears that she'll probably say something like 'Can it Frenchy, I'm watching Peppa Pig.'" Did you know that the Queen is a Leeds United fan? It's true, just ask her.

isporty would like to know if your sporting endeavours have ever taken you to the Queen's house? Or if not quite the Queen, what about the Mayor's house or the house of a leading businessman who possibly made his money in the textile industry and is thinking about sponsoring your dream of turning pro? Let us know, we're all ears. Well, we're not but you know what I mean.
