The Queen hitches a lift after her Bentley limo breaks down

The Queen had to get a lift from the police after her limo broke down
Her Majesty the Queen was forced to hitch a lift yesterday after her Bentley limousine broke down whilst she was out and about on official visits in the London.
The exquisite Bentley had been a gift to the Queen from the manufacturers to mark her Golden Jubilee back in 2002. However the fine limousine wouldn’t start after the Queen emerged from the Gherkin building whilst on a royal visit.
Approximately 1,000 people lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the Monarch as she emerged from the London landmark. Luckily the 83-year-old’s blushes were saved by the police who were on hand to offer the Queen a lift to her next engagement, leaving the Bentley limo to be taken away by the mechanics.
The Queen had 4 engagements in the capital on Wednesday so there was no time to spare when the Bentley broke down. The Monarch was then chauffeured off to her next visit at Tower Bridge in the back of a police 4×4 Range Rover.
Earlier in the day, the Queen had paid a visit to Aldgate tube stop where she was given a guided tour of the station. Perhaps she would have been better off sticking to the tube and leaving the limo at home?!

VIP hummer limo trip for sick mum from Buckinghamshire

A1 Limos donate hummer limo trip to London for poorly mother and her family
A mother of two from Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, who is waiting for a double lung transplant, is about to receive the VIP treatment with a hummer limo shopping trip to London. A local hairdressers decided to raise money in their salon to allow the poorly 34-year-old to have a special day out.
Since being diagnosed with emphysema two years ago Kate Powell has relied on an oxygen tank 24 hours a day to help her breathe. Ms Powell was born with congenital heart disease and had to have a number of operations before the age of 10. After being placed on the transplant list last month, the brave mum of two is taking tablets to make her heart strong enough to undergo the double lung transplant operation.
New Image hair salon in the Ms Powell’s local town decided to raise money in order to treat her and her family after seeing what they’ve gone through during past two years. The owner of New Image, Tracy Pears, is planning to send Ms Powell and her two sons off for a day of Christmas shopping in London. A1 Limos have kindly donated the services of their chauffeur driven hummer limo to the cause.
After hearing what the generous hairdressers had organised Ms Powell said: “When I told the boys we were going to London they were so excited. They have been brilliant- they are like my little carers.”
Another fundraising event is being held in the hair salon on December 6th with money from hair cuts being put towards a professional photography session for Ms Powell and her family.
Rihanna makes limo faux pas after London night out

Rihanna's undignified limo entrance
Rihanna was riding high last night after partying the night away in London and delivering a triumphant performance at a secret preview gig at Brixton Academy; that is until she made the ultimate girl’s faux pas as she attempted to get into her chauffeur driven limo. The trim 21-year-old made the mistake of teaming a super short red mini-dress with killer heels and then attempting to clamber into the back of her limousine.
The paparazzi waiting outside top celeb hangout, Mahiki, where Rihanna had been enjoying an after show party along with her mentor Jay Z and Beyonce, got the money shot as the pop star leant over to reveal, wait for it…cellulite.

The offending cellulite snap
As the singer took her seat in her limo she then gave the photographers another eyeful, this time revealing her nude coloured underwear. The usually composed star could be forgiven for her uncharacteristic behaviour as it seems she may have enjoyed one glass too many of free champagne, as she then proceeded to lie horizontally across the back seat of the limousine.
The umbrella singer is currently in the UK to promote her eagerly anticipated new album, Rated R. Rihanna proved she was back on top form after a spell out of the limelight as she dealt with the legal proceedings in which her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown was charged with assaulting her. Despite a difficult past few months, Rihanna returned to the stage at the VIP show and delighted the crowd with a rendition of her previous hits, as well as some unheard tracks from her new album.

Green Energy Minister turns back on limo hire in favour of pedal power

Government minister rejects limo hire in favour of pedal power
Lord Hunt the minister for Energy and Climate Change is bucking the trend when it comes to expense claims. Files released under the Freedom of Information Act made pleasant reading for a change. The minister, who is also the deputy leader of the House of Lords, had in fact walked to 24 official meetings and cycled to a further 3 leaving his chauffeur driven limo sitting idle.
Limo hire was utilised on the infrequent occasions when Lord Hunt was unable to walk or cycle, these involved long distance journeys such as meetings in Oxford or on the outskirts of London. However the 60 year-old father of 5 is deadly serious in his commitment to lowering carbon emissions even going as far as cycling 30 miles across his home city of Birmingham to attend an official engagement.
His worthy actions have prompted praise from several campaign groups. Mark Wallace is the Campaign Director for the Taxpayers’ Alliance was impressed by Hunt’s willpower at resisting the lure of the comfortable limo saying: “This is a move in the right direction by Lord Hunt. As well as sticking to his principles, he has saved taxpayers a large amount of money.” Richard Hepbditch of the Campaign for Better Transport also commended the minister adding “It’s really good to see Lord Hunt using alternative means of travel, it shows the Government ministers are realising they have a responsibility to lead by example.”
With a heightened awareness surrounding energy efficiency and moves towards off-setting carbon emissions, we could see more politicians following Lord Hunt’s lead; the days of the lavish Government limos may be numbered.
