This six-year-old girl will never forget the moment she met the Queen in Cardiff.
Her Majesty was presented with a posy by Maisie as part of a regimental tradition. But after Maisie handed over the flowers, a saluting soldier accidently hit her in the face. The accident happened as the Queen honoured The Royal Welsh with new colours during a ceremony at the Millennium Stadium.
Maisie's father, Regimental Sergeant Major Martin Gregory, said his daughter has since seen the funny side. He said: "She was a little bit upset but I let her wear my hat and carry my sword. She was soon cheerful and she's running around now."
Salutations!
Salutations!

Re: Salutations!
It's OK - she's Welsh.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Re: Salutations!
This is the hilarious moment a bumbling tourist was barged out of the path of a troop of marching Guardsmen outside Buckingham Palace.
The man in the viral video has now been identified as Gerry Weatherhead, 58, a retired RAF engineer from Haverhill in Suffolk, who today good naturedly laughed off the incident.
He said: 'As a former military man myself I'm more embarrassed than anything else - but no one was hurt and there was no harm done. It's quite funny really!'
In the short clip, which was uploaded on Monday and has been viewed almost 1,500,000 times, a large group of tourists can be seen milling outside a palace gate waiting for the troop to go past.
The video focuses on a Mr Weatherhead, who is carrying a large camera as he chats to his wife with his back to the oncoming tide of red and bearskin.
