Queen Elizabeth set for city visit
The City of Manchester is gearing up for a royal visit this week with MediaCityUK, BBC Media City, University Hospitals and the Town Hall all penciled in for a visit from Queen Elizabeth!
Queen Elizabeth’s reign of 60 years is the second-longest for a British monarch, the only monarch to have a longer reign is Queen Victoria, who reigned for an astounding sixty-three years and seven months. Queen Elizabeth’s Silver and Golden Jubilees were celebrated in 1977 and 2002, with her Diamond Jubilee celebrations taking place throughout 2012.
Queen Elizabeth’s most anticipated engagement of 2012 is the opening of the 2012 Summer Olympics on 27 July and the Paralympics on 29 August in London.
Accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, Queen Elizabeth begins her visit by opening the Central Manchester University Hospitals on Friday 23rd March, followed by the opening of MediaCityUK and BBC Media City at Salford Quays, all on the same day.
Later in the afternoon Queen Elizabeth will attend a lunch in Albert Square at Manchester Town Hall, located just a five minute walk from Pesto Italian Restaurants Deansgate – ideal if you’re out Queen-spotting and you fancy a scrumptious lunch with a taste of the royal treatment for yourself from our super team at Deansgate!
There’s also talk of the Queen traveling through Deansgate past Pesto Italian Restaurants en route to lunch at the town hall – why not reserve a front-row seat at Pesto Deansgate now with our simple online booking form?
- Guess who else loves a bit of Reiss?
The Pesto Italian Restaurants Deansgate team will also be busy tonight at the rather swanky VIP Reiss evening taking place at Whitewall Galleries from 6pm – 9pm.
Reiss will be showcasing their new collection along with Tom Ford Beauty, Molton Brown and Sugar & Spice! To reserve a place at this special one-off event call the Reiss Manchester store on 0161 831 7994
