Sir Terry Pratchett and the Queen
THE KNIGHT AND THE QUEEN
Here be a post from author and well-loved Discworld convention guest
Diane Duane about certain recent goings-on at Trinity College
Dublin:
"Having earlier stopped in at Aras an Uachtarain to be greeted by
the President of Ireland, and having then laid a wreath at the
Garden of Remembrance in Dublin, Queen Elizabeth II went to Trinity
College. She had a look at a facsimile of the Book of Kells, and
then met with various folks associated with Trinity - including
one Professor Doctor Sir Terry Pratchett, his stalwart assistant Rob
Wilkins, and the erudite Colin Smythe, writer-publisher
extraordinaire..."

...and an amusing tweet from The Author on his Twitter page: "Oh
yes, that was us and HM at TCD. She had a battered copy of Good
Omens to be signed."

Please note that TP has an assistant to help him w/stuff, so TP's twitter account is his twitter account, but probably all written by the assistant standing at his elbow....
And how cool is it that the Queen had a battered copy of Good Omens she wanted autographed?! LOL
