The Queen of the United Kingdom will visit Google's Westminster offices today and Google have marked the occasion with a special "Google doodle".

Normally reserved for holidays and anniversaries, the doodle will feature on the front page of Google UK. The image features the Queen's profile and a crown.

The Queen will meet competition winners and users of the Google's video site YouTube.

Last Christmas, the Queen launched a dedicated royal channel on YouTube. The channel has 54 royal videos and has been viewed 1.6 million times by internet users.

I hope she comes back to Jamaica soon, we love her here. The last time she was here there was a power outage at Kings House (her dads place) and she was shown on TV carrying a candle.

Any chance you could keep her in Jamaica?


Sorry for the rant, but I dont believe such an old fashioned monarchy has a place in todays society.

very true,
also years ago when Nissan were deciding which country to put there new euro factory, the queen invited Japans monarchy / government over here for some pimms and the next thing you know - lots of jobs in Sunderland.

As long as they become self sufficient I love them and all that they stand for

I am not from England but how the **** the Canadian Money and I am sure the Money in the UK have the face of the Queen? That does not seen to looks like she doing only tourism. She is probably more powerful than the prime minister.

You're obviously a very wise person. Well done.

You really need to look it up then... While the Queen will ask which ever party is elected to form a government, she holds no say (really) over what will happen or how the country will be run. Although she does have a lot of influence.
