Editorial: Welcome, queen and duke

Published 12:00 am Friday, May 4, 2007

The Queen of England and the Duke of Edinburgh are in America for the 400th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement on this side of the pond. Jamestown, Va., is just one part of the tour. She also will visit Virginia Tech, the Kentucky Derby and Washington, D.C.

It is her fourth visit to the states.

We have one suggestion for the duke and queen: While you are at the Kentucky Derby, don&8217;t be so regal. Get out there and yell like mad. It&8217;s more fun that way.
