By Matthew Blake The Queen will tour France in an old Renault during her state visit next week because none of Francois Hollande's Citroens have the space to fit her large hats, it has been reported. The French president has personally invited Her Majesty to Normandy to help him commemorate the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings on June 6. But heads have been spinning at the Elysee Palace ever since the announcement after staff realised she would not be able to sit upright in either the pokey presidential Citroen DS5 or the larger C6 model if she wears any one of her large hats.
