Still, with an end to lockdown in sight, better late than never, although looking at the list of participating attractions, you do wonder how many she will want to visit.

What, the bloke who pioneered electricity? British Motor Museum at Gaydon? Do me a favour. I suppose there s always the Fleet Air Arm Museum and British Airways i360.

Museums and galleries are “fighting for survival” following the latest lockdown, a national charity has warned.
Others could follow in the footsteps of London’s Florence Nightingale Museum, which has previously announced it is closing for the “foreseeable future”.
Olympic artist Sir Anish Kapoor said the nation’s museums face “great difficulty”.
Art Fund, the national charity for art, predicted that small institutions are likely to suffer most and said more help is needed.
