summer olympics

Queen Mary's wartime retreat.
The answer is either an olympic sport, host city or british olympian.

Sydney.

My descendant`s Queen went to Badminton with only 50 or so servants to guard her so that she could not be taken prisoner by the nasty Nazis should they invade. Take it from me - I should know. There, she made war on ivy. She also gave servicemen a lift in her Rolls Royce and even issued little commemorative medals as no-one would believe ordinary soldiers had been in the same vehicle (front, with the chauffeur, though) as the then Queen Mother.

Sorry, queencharlotte. I was off at a tangent googling the 'Queen Mary Ship' !

[queencharlotte]

Thanks, Dinkypuzzled. Isn`t it disgraceful that at my age I have to stand with the hoi-polloi outside the Abbey when I ought to be inside to see my descendants wed.. Do wave to me, won`t you? I`ll be wearing a pretty hat.

Queen Mary was your great granddaughter who married your great-great grandson.

[queencharlotte]

Mike, I told you I was old. Hope my corns don`t play up on the big day.

Are you taking your husband? If so, make sure he doesn't start talking to the trees again.

Did you know his pee was violet? Is there an outside chance we`ve strayed from the original question. Anyway, how long is a thread?
