A tropical heatwave

From a report in today's Times.

"Thirty-nine people fainted at a garden party in Buckingham Palace yesterday. In a break with tradition, the Queen, who is renowned for her ability to cope with extreme conditions, wore a pale pink strappy t-shirt with co-ordinating magenta shorts. The Duke of Edinburgh is reported as saying, 'I had forgotten HM had such a good pair of pins.'"
