And a performance that helped make him the Queen Mum's favourite.

I could've had the Queen Mum to tea there and not been ashamed.

Quo turned into an institution, a musical Queen Mum.

In a flush of excitement was a woman who identified herself as "the Queen Mum," because her daughter had just won a fair pageant.

News of the Queen Mum's absence sparked a health scare but staff members stressed that she was 'perfectly well'.

Yet the Queen Mum has made it quite clear that she will decide for herself.

The "Queen Mum" - as she was now firmly fixed in the public mind - had become something more than an institution.

And the only one running was the Queen Mum.

Did you give the Queen Mum my regards?
