QuoteThe Queen was clearly delighted to be given her VIP pass to the Commonwealth Games today - even though it wrongly referred to her as HRH.
Her Majesty, or HM for short, was given her official accreditation for the Games - complete with "mugshot" identity picture - on a visit to some of the venues in the host city of Glasgow.
It named her, correctly, as Her Majesty The Queen, but in a space usually reserved for categories such as "Press" or "Guest", the organisers had designated her as "HRH".

QuoteThe Queen Is Cheery In Buttercup Yellow as She Gets Behind-the-Scenes Look at Commonwealth Games Venues  (VIDEO)

The Queen met staff and volunteers preparing for the Commonwealth Games today as excitement around the competition builds in Glasgow.  The monarch was accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh for a behind the scenes look at venues in the city.

The royal couple received a tour of Kelvin Hall, which is home to the uniform and accreditation centre for the Games, where they spoke with volunteers and staff.

The Queen, wearing a Karl Ludwig pale buttercup yellow crepe coat, floral silk dress and Angela Kelly hat, was shown around by Commonwealth Games staff, including head of accreditation Adrian Wood and operations manager Ed Saayeng.

He said: 'The visit was a brilliant experience. She was much more laid back than I expected and very open and interested in what we are doing here.'
