A scouse nan will never forget the Liverpool FC joke Queen Elizabeth made while visiting her in her living room.
Brenda Prendergast, 65, was handpicked by bosses at Riverside Housing to host the Queen at her house in Bronte Street in July 1999, as part of a Royal visit to mark the regeneration of the city centre estate. The retired receptionist has described the Queen as "really down to earth" and said she even made a quip about Liverpool FC while talking to her young son, John.
Brenda told the ECHO : "We had to be up at 7am and all the security men came round with their sniffer dogs. They were there all morning while we were getting ready and there was a special branch police officer there too.
