Her Royal Highness the Queen of England had to make do with a common man's car arriving for her 2-day trip to the Channel Islands yesterday. The usual royal limousine, a Rolls Royce, could not be easily transferred to the Channel Island of Alderney for the couple's visit so the authorities came up with the next best thing - a Renault Scenic. However, the original choice - a car of lime green hue - had to be exchanged for one of silver - lent by a local businessman - as it clashed with Her Majesty's apple-green outfit. But the warmest of welcomes made up for the far-from-regal transportation. Well-wishers turned out waving Union Jack flags and offered the Queen flowers and pictures of her last visit to the island in 1989, when she was driven around in a Ford Escort. On a later visit to Sark, where cars are banned, almost all the 600-strong population flocked to welcome the Queen and Prince who arrived in an 1882 wedding carriage. The day's successful proceedings were rounded off with a State Banquet at the Beau Sejour Centre in Guernsey at which Her Majesty arrived beaming in a beautiful yellow lace evening dress. Queen Elizabeth II is shown images of her last visit to Alderney in 1989, by locals on the island of Alderney, during her 2 day visit to the Channel Islands
