UK to name part of Antarctica Queen Elizabeth Land
She is the first monarch since 1781 - during the US war of independence - to attend a cabinet meeting.
She met ministers, who gave her a set of 60 place mats, to mark her Diamond Jubilee after 60 years on the throne.
After leaving Downing Street she went with Foreign Secretary William Hague to the Foreign Office, where it was announced that the southern part of the British Antarctic Territory had been named.
The territory, covering 169,000 sq miles - almost twice the size of the UK - was previously unnamed, the Foreign Office said.
This is good and all but last I checked our Antarctica territory was not recognised or something. I also think they could have picked a better name, the one they picked suits a town or something not territory.
Thoughts?
