An afternoon at Trinity
May. 17th, 2011 11:13 pmJust another day in the great Long Room of Trinity's famous library. Except for once it wasn't being "borrowed" without credit by George Lucas.
Having earlier stopped in at Aras an Uachtarain to be greeted by the President of Ireland, and having then laid a wreath at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin, Queen Elizabeth II went to Trinity College. She had a look at a facsimile of the Book of Kells, and then met with various folks associated with Trinity -- including one Professor Doctor Sir Terry Pratchett, his stalwart assistant Rob Wilkins, and the erudite Colin Smythe, writer-publisher extraordinaire.
Flash video of their meeting is embedded on the “Out of Ambit” page here:
