QuoteThe Queen came face-to-face with millions of portraits of herself today, as she visited a stamp factory in Wolverhampton. During the visit to International Security Printers, she was shown printing machines, as well as a stamp archive.
But Her Majesty, who was making her first visit to Wolverhampton since 1994, certainly didn't appear to mind and beamed as she was shown around the plant in the Midlands city's i54 business park.
Joined by the Duke of Edinburgh for the visit, the Queen, who was resplendent in a colourful turquoise ensemble, looked delighted by her welcome, smiling as she spotted a large crowd of well-wishers outside.

Accompanied by Prince Philip she toured International Security Printers in Wolverhampton, which printed the stamps commemorating the 2011 royal wedding.

During their walk around, the Queen and Philip spoke to the staff operating an Italian-made Cerutti industrial printer.

Philip, 93, asked: "Have you learned to speak Italian, or have you taught it to speak English?"
