    “ Dear Elizabeth, How nice to hear from you and know that you have restarted the Victoriana Show. I would be delighted to come again and have missed it very much. I have played Queen Victoria many times since I last saw you and thoroughly enjoyed doing it. Happy New Year to you and am equally delighted that the show for 2011 is underway. I look forward to hearing from you again. All best wishes. ”

    -- Dame Beryl Windsor cousin of Queen Elizabeth 2.
