Back in the mid 90s my Dad saw the Queen. She opened Queens Building at De Montfort Uni in Leicester. Was returning to the car parked by the staff car park,with her lady in waiting, with no-one around. Dad was walking to the car (Mum worked at DMU so parked there when had a hospital appt at Royal Infirmary, 5 mins walk away). Queen waved and said Goodbye to my dad. Only him, chauffeur, Queen and lady in waiting about.
