That hat

The mad or not hatter was called Angela Kelly, who is the queen's personal assistant and senior dresser.

Do forget me nots change colour depending on the acidity of the soil? Mine definitely looked that colour. But I also had pink ones and white ones.

Actually I think the colour was more like that of the dodgy forget-me-nots Ana.

N & G, at least he wasn't called a brown ......!

The Queen knew exactly what she was doing. She always uses her clothing as a sartorial statement.

She isn't that stupid!!!

God bless her she looked so beautiful and if the flowers are supposed to be forget me knots well we wont!!!

Maybe the milliner used artistic licence?

And as a total aside, watching the news last night one of the commentators said maybe the Queens 'hatter' was having a joke !!! HATTER ??????? What is the world coming to :-)

Looks more like this, but missed the name of it...

What's that rhyme about pants on fire?

It's a new variety, I just asked Monty Don

stop being picky, I'm doing my best

But the petals on the hat are sort of pointy - not rounded like those in the photo.

Right shape though, with yellow stamens

The forget- me-nots in my garden weren't that vibrant Jalima. I think those have been air brushed.

Forget-me-nots? A message?

They're flowers. With yellow stamens. Most flowers have yellow stamens. #nothinglikethebloodyflag

ooooooh nice one Rose , I counter with Gentian Violet

why not Nana ?( as we seem to have time on our hands.)
I will kick off with... British Cornflower Blue!

It is a pretty colour Rose isn't it shall we all debate exactly what that is [laugh]

I serge it's a hat not a bloody flag

Haha! Just a pretty colour and co-incidence is all.
If you want to get ahead, get a hat.

Its not a signal of any kind - its a hat sigh....

Oh come on folks the queen is a very astute woman she knows exactly what's she's wearing and why she's wearing it She can't come out and say things so she's giving a signal And no it's nothing to do with being a Tory She's not daft, no hat maker would dare pass something like that off unless she had expressly asked them to do it

Doesn't mean she isn't a Tory Jalima, I respect May's dignity , like Ken Clarke and enjoy listening to Rees Mogg, dislike Corbyn and McDonald ,Abbott and Thornbury but I am not a Tory
