The Queen and her visit to Suffolk
the queen
HM Queen Elizabeth II in Bury St Edmunds
Did you manage to see the Queen when she visted Suffolk as part of her Jubilee tour?

Do you think the Queen is an important part of British life to be cherished and preserved or is the Royal family just a drain on the public pocket?

Those of us who do not recognise the need for a hereditory regime, nonetheless chose not to interfere with the celebrations of those who do. I just hope they remember, when it is our turn, that in a democracy we should respect other people's opinions, even if we do not share them.

John Taylor, Mildenhall
I voted to keep the monarchy in your online web poll. They are an important part of English heritage and history, and the taxpayer money they receive is surely a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of millions in pounds generated by the tourists they attract. I believe this is good value for money.

Aaron Taffera, Pennsylvania, USA
The queen commented to my mum and my-self on our hats we were wearing! We moved on to the town for another glimspe of the queen before she left the town. The queen reconised us again and mouthed from the car I remember those hats! Also you have a photo of us on the bbci web site! This has really made my mums day.

I'm 13 years-old from Bury St Edmunds.  When The Queen visited our town I was very upset when I wasn't aloud to go and see her! I think that it should of been made more of a big deal to schools all around the Bury area, and that if you wanted to go and meet or see the Queen for the first time you should be able to.

Danielle Carnegie
I didn't see the queen and i wouldn't want to. The monarchy will die if it doesn't reform. Cut the civil list right down I say. The youth of today don't care for it and will not accept it when we are in our 40s.
