lol, Queen Elizabeth is in Canada and what do we do? Make a geek of her! First, a tour of RIM and a new Blackberry! Then, Pinewood Studios and a 3D movie!
Here are the Royal Fanqueen and her Fanconsort:

Big no-prizes to anyone who can come up with a good caption for this photo!
p.s. Shortly after that photo was taken, the Queen was at a function in downtown Toronto, where the power had been knocked out due to a transformer explosion. Yep, show her all the high-tech toys, then turn the lights out on her!
ETA 2
It gets better! The queen's 3D glasses are "studded with Swarovski crystals shaped in the letter Q on their sides" and she was watching a scene that Deepa Metha just shot for a proposed 3D TV series of a Jai Ho dance number set in 1812! Details and video here. (OMG I want to see that show!)
