    Queen Elizabeth II visits Leicester Cathedral

    By amusiyiwa  |  Posted March 15, 2012  |  Leicester LE1 5PZ
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     amusiyiwa got the chance to document the kickoff of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee tour in Leicester, England, because he is working on a film project with the Zimbabwe Association Choir, one of several groups invited to perform at the celebration. (See his extended footage here.)

    'The images ... will stay with me for a long, long time. I never thought that there would come a time when I would be that close to the Queen, to the Duchess, to Prince Philip. They are people you see in the newspaper, you see on TV. I just couldn't believe it.'
    - dsashin, CNN iReport producer

    Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by Prince Philip and Kate the Duchess of Cambridge, visited Leicester Cathedral and St Martins House in Leicester on 8 March 2012 as part of her first visit in her Diamond Jubilee National Tour.

    More information on the visit is available at http://www.stmartinshouse.com/?p=391.
