Guinness Gets Royal Accolade
The second day of the Queen's visit to Ireland has taken her to the famous Guinness Storehouse at St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin.
Her motorcade left the official residence of President of Ireland, Mary McAleese at Áras an Uachtaráin this morning for Her Majesty and Prince Philip to explore the Guinness Hop Store, a modern tourist facility that covers over seven floors and is surrounding by a glass atrium in the shape of a pint of Guinness.
The Royal couple were then introduced to the Master Brewer who showed how to pour the 'Perfect Pint' of stout and enjoyed a presentation by the Guinness Company Archivist.
As part of her four-day visit to Ireland, she is now visiting the Dáil - Government Buildings - where she has met with the Taoiseach Enda Kenny and members of the Irish Government.
Queen Elizabeth will then continue to the Irish War Memorial to remember those who fought in the British forces in WWI and WWII in Islandbridge where she will lay a wreath.
Her Majesty will then visit Croke Park stadium where she will meet with Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) members.
Later this evening the Queen will attend a State dinner hosted by President Mary McAleese at Dublin Castle and again attended by Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
This afternoon the British Prime Minister David Cameron will also visit Government Buildings and meet with Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
