By Jim Norton The Queen has visited HMS Lancaster - known as the Queen’s Frigate - 24 years after she launched it. The crew welcomed Her Majesty on board the Royal Navy Frigate yesterday as it stopped off at Portsmouth Naval Base. Dressed elegantly in a sky blue Karl Ludwig dress and a white Angela Kelly hat, the 88-year-old was greeted by the naval base commander Commodore Jeremy Rigby and received a royal salute.
