A
There
was
a
medieval
party
atmosphere
at
Mikkel
gate
in
New
York,
as
crowds
lined
the
streets
in
preparation
for
Her
Majesty's
visit
in
the
year
that
celebrates
York's
800
years
as
a
self-governing
city.
In
accordance
with
tradition.
The
reigning
monarch
answered
such
a
ceremonial
sword
before
entering
through
the
ancient
walls
and
as
she
appeared
through
a
middle
gate
bar,
she
was
warmly
welcomed
with
an
official
greeting.
