The Queen visits LIFFE trading floor

In early 1992, HRH Queen Elizabeth II visited the LIFFE trading floor and the video of her visit was recently uploaded onto youtube by Chris Dougan (who apparently traded on the LIFFE floor).  It's listed as a four part series but only parts 2, 3 & 4 are uploaded thus far.  In the video the Queen was presented with her personal trading badge "E2R" made of solid silver. 







For further reading on the Queen's visit and LIFFE in general, I'd again suggest to read Day One Trader by John Sussex who recounts of his career on LIFFE including the day of the above video.
