In the afternoon, the Queen arrives in town and travels about with a grand procression, befitting one of her station. She eventually ends up at the Maybower stage where she formally greets the citizens and local dignitaries. It can be a grand time but not without some minor drama.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

Hers wasn't the only special gift he ruined	A puppet show gone wild. Their death scenes were not hard to act out.	Things get kind of ugly	A little too ugly
The Spanish Ambassador comes to air his complaints against Drake	Sir Martin Frobisher, Lord Derby & Sir Christopher all wish to champion her	Sir Martin is selected	They fight intensely
across the whole stage	as in any good script	Drake stops things from going too far	Elizabeth delivers her own sharp rebute
On a lighter note, she greets the Bard	He demonstartes his skills with the help of an audience member	His poetry appears effective	Derby takes the time to entreat the Queen to take a husband
She doesn't take too kindly to the suggestion much to Sir Christopher's delight	She waits for a final presentation without Derby	A final song to her Majesty	A few last parting words
