Even I am quite excited at the prospect of Her Majesty coming to York in April. I might even be tempted to join the crowds in hopes of catching a glimpse of her. She's coming up to distribute the Royal Maundy from the Minster. So, if I have my facts right, she'll be giving 85 pensioners, chosen because of their Christian contribution to both church and community, specially minted Maundy silver coins to the value of 85pence in a white leather purse, and a second, red leather purse containing ordinary coinage.
