Thousands of people turned out to see the Queen yesterday during her first visit to Oxford in two years.

Her Majesty dressed in a pink and black coat was in the city to officially open a memorial garden for her late sister Princess Margaret, as well as the Oxford Castle complex.

She also took a tour of Oxford University Press's Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and had lunch at Christ Church College.

Christ Church employee Glyn Lyons, who served the Queen lunch, said: "She looked beautiful. It was great to see her."
