NOT FOR WEB UNTIL 28 OCT - SEE VICTORIA (812447a) Prince Philip Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip State Visit to Slovakia - 23 Oct 2008 In a continuation of her state visit to central Europe the Queen has arrived in Slovakia. Upon arriving in the capital Bratislava she was given a traditional welcome when she was presented with a gift of salt and bread by a couple dressed in national costume. President Ivan Gasparovic then showed her around the presidential palace where an 80-strong guard of honour gave her a military salute. Clutching an umbrella, the Queen also watched a display of folk dancing in the rain soaked square. Later she and Prince Philip viewed the The Freedom Gate, which marks the old Iron Curtain boundry between east and west. During her visit the Queen is due to meet Nobel Peace Prize nominee Sir Nicholas Winton, along with some of the 670 Jewish Czechoslovakian children who he rescued before World War II.
