Queen continues Diamond Jubilee tour The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh enjoyed a rapturous reception when her Diamond Jubilee tour rolled into London. Hundreds of flag-waving well wishers gathered in the sunshine to welcome the royal couple before they headed for the historic Redbridge House, home to works by artists including Lucien Freud, David Hockney and Francis Bacon. Philip showed that despite a recent bout of bad health he had lost none of his humour as he asked the disabled rider of a mobility scooter: "How many people have you knocked over this morning on that thing?" David Miller, 60, who has difficulty walking on his own, said afterwards: "That is just typical from the Duke. He is renowned for his humour but no offence was taken, it was all in good humour. I told him, 'no, your Royal Highness, I had not knocked anyone down'. For lunch the Queen and Philip ate Indian Shepherd's pie followed by bread and butter pudding prepared by celebrity Indian chef Cyrus Todiwala. Before leaving for Waltham Forest and Harrow, the Queen opened Valentines Diamond Jubilee Dry Garden.
