The Queen popped down to the Co-op in Manchester last week…
The visit was to formally open the Co-operative’s new building at 1 Angel Square in Manchester. In the open-plan foyer, a man sits at a hot desk ahead of her visit:

The lifts are polished extra hard, ahead of the visit

Waiting for Elizabeth


Upon arrival, the monarch crosses the floor of the building – can you guess which is the Queen?


Accompanying the Queen, her husband, Prince Philip


She explored displays showing off some of the Co-op’s product lines


and pulled the roller blind for the formal opening ceremony

and then away!
