Apparently she was supposed to fly into St. Angelo but got diverted to Aldergrove due to the weather  ???

I assume that she got a helicopter from there back to Enniskillen.

Sorry,wasnt` at home this evening so missed anything coming in to BFS.

Would have been nice to get a shot of the 146.

Does anyone know if any of the cars were flown in,or is there a pool of vehicles at Hillsborough for the Royals to use?
